Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the best place to store chocolate?
To keep your chocolate perfectly fresh, not melted, and exactly the consistency you want, it’s best to keep it in a cool, dry place. But that doesn’t mean the refrigerator. You don’t want this space to be humid at all, and the temperature needs to be consistent and below 70. For best results, store your chocolate in an airtight container and keep them tucked away safely from light. Typically, this means a moderate, controlled space in your kitchen, such as a pantry or cabinet.

What’s the expiration date on chocolate?
If stored properly, chocolate can last at least a year. The darker the chocolate, the longer it lasts. White chocolate only lasts around four months, but dark chocolate can last for a year or more. If you want to store your chocolate for longer, it’s perfectly fine to freeze it, too.
