How to preserve your chocolates to maintain their flavor

Proper preservation is key to fully enjoy each chocolate like the handmade chocolates that we offer at Let's Chocollat. Therefore, we give you some tips to preserve your chocolates to keep their flavor at all times. 

The enemies of chocolates: humidity and temperature

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

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

• Store 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 consumption, take them out of the refrigerator and let them 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 heat sources. 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 smells: Chocolate absorbs aromas from the environment. Keep them away from spices, coffee or products with intense odors.
• In their original packaging: Let's Chocolaat cases and buckets are designed to protect the chocolates.
