Does chocolate become bad? How to store, freeze and ship it

If you keep your Bonbons more than a week before eating, this is when we start talking about refrigerators and freezing.

“I rarely advise my customers to cool or freeze Bon Bones, but this is not because it cannot be done. Coppel notes that it takes more steps to make sure that Bonbons is still beautiful as it was when I shipped it.”

Coppel says, if you know that you are keeping Bonbons for a period longer than a week, Coppel, cools the refrigerator or wine is the best bet to keep fresh and strong chocolate flavors. Most of the sources recommend that Bon Bons wrap tightly in plastic – or in a sealed container – before storing in the refrigerator, to avoid chocolate that picks up funny flavors from anything else in the refrigerator.

“If you have a wine cooler, you are lucky. This is the best device you can use to store Bonbons. Place Bonbons there at 16 ° C or 60 ° F (if you want to be more accurate, the cold should have a relative moisture between 60-70 % ), “According to the written instructions that Coppel sent.

Wine cooler failed, you will do the standard refrigerator. Coppel warns that after keeping the chocolate in the refrigerator, it should take it out and allow them to reach room temperature again before eating.

“Otherwise, the fillings will be difficult, and the flavors will not pass as much as it should, because the cold prevents the flavor of the flavor,” he notes Coppel.
