How to store your chocolates to preserve their flavor

Proper storage is key to enjoying each chocolate to the fullest, especially the artisanal chocolates we offer at Let's Chocollat. That's why we've put together these tips for storing your chocolates to keep them tasting great at all times. 

The enemies of chocolate: humidity and temperature

Changes in temperature can alter both the texture and flavor of your chocolates, affecting the sensory experience you enjoy so much. When exposed to temperature changes, a whitish layer may develop on the surface (known as "bloom"), which, although not harmful to health, does affect their appearance.

Refrigerating chocolates is not ideal, as the humidity in the refrigerator directly affects them. However, if you must do so, follow these precautions:

• Store them in an airtight container to protect them from moisture and odors.
• Leave them in their original packaging before placing them in the airtight container.
• Before consuming them, remove them from the refrigerator and allow them to reach room temperature for at least 30 minutes.

This last step is crucial: consuming the chocolates at room temperature allows the flavors to recover and the texture to be optimal for consumption.

Store in a cool, dry place.

The best way to store your chocolates is to keep them in a cool, dry place, such as a pantry or cupboard away from sources of heat. The ideal temperature for storing chocolates is between 15 and 18 degrees Celsius.

• Avoid direct sunlight: Ultraviolet rays can alter chocolate and accelerate its deterioration.
• Away from strong odors: Chocolate absorbs the aromas of its surroundings. Store it away from spices, coffee, or products with strong odors.
• In their original packaging: Let’s Chocolaat boxes and tubs are designed to protect the chocolates.
