Chocolate is a very particular treat, and to help you enjoy it at its best, here are a few tips. Do not store your chocolate in the refrigerator, the temperature is too low and humidity is too high

Chocolate stored in the refrigerator will "sweat". This means that a layer of moisture will form on the surface of the chocolate, and when cooled, a stickiness will result. Instead, find a cool, dry place in your home such as a cupboard or pantry to keep chocolate. If it is just too hot and you must rely on your refrigerator to avoid a total meltdown of your chocolate, be sure to let it sit at room temperature for a spell before eating to get that fabulous melt-in-your mouth sensation chocolate offers.

The stickiness will not affect the flavor of your chocolate, but will alter the mouth feel slightly. Chocolate also absorbs into its flavor any nearby smells or taste.

Bark and solid chocolate, if stored properly, can be kept for a few months with little degradation of taste and texture.Chocolate Truffles, due to their cream content, should not be left uneaten for more than a couple of weeks.

Chocolate Fetish Truffles and chocolates contain no preservatives,and therefore attention should be paid to the shelf life to enjoy the freshness of our chocolate products.

Chocolate that is allowed to get warm will begin to melt,allowing the cocoa butter to rise to the surface, creating "bloom". Chocolate bloom will be noted as white streaks or dots on the surface of the chocolate. Chocolate bloom does not affect the taste of the chocolate, but will alter the texture somewhat if not retempered.
