Shipping Chocolate - Important Considerations

Nothing tastes better, than a piece of delicious milk chocolate on a warm summer day. At Choconet we take pride in making sure your order of arrives at its destination, the same way that it leaves our facilityÉ.IN PERFECT CONDITION.

As you may well imagine, this becomes a challenge when the temperatures rise into the 70's and above. People often overlook the fact that chocolate is perishable and starts to change consistency and starts to melt in the mid 70's. Delivery trucks typically do not have air conditioning, thus the temperature in the non ventilated area is at least 15-25 degrees warmer than the outside temperature. What this will mean to your order of custom chocolate is that it will not be arriving the way you envision it, unless 2 steps are taken. Firstly, you need to choose an expedited method of shipping and an insulated cooler box with reusable ice packs. Our insulated cooler boxes with ice packs will keep the product from melting for up to 48 hours, thus either 1 or 2 day delivery service needs to be chosen for the product to arrive in perfect shape.

Chocolate Blooming

Have you ever opened up a wrapped piece of chocolate that has a dull white-gray finish on it? You think that you have received an old piece of chocolate and feel like you have been short changed.

In reality you have just gotten a piece of chocolate that has Òbloomed.Ó The blooming of chocolate is probably the most common problem that can occur with this piece of candy. Fat bloom is the accumulation of large cocoa butter crystals on the chocolate surface. It is often accompanied by numerous small cracks that also give the chocolate a dull appearance.
