  The best way to store chocolate is to keep it in a cool, dark place with temperatures between 60° and 70° and low humidity.Never put chocolate in the refrigerator. The quick change in temperature and humidity will cause cocoa butter crystals to rise to the top of the chocolate, resulting in a hazy, light-colored "bloom" on the chocolate. Chocolate with bloom on it is still edible, but it is unsightly and has a less-desirable texture. Chocolate picks up odors like a sponge, so storing chocolate next to an onion might result in onion-flavored chocolate. The best way to prevent this from happening is to keep chocolate stored in a Ziploc bag once it has been opened. |
