How to Store Your Favorite Chocolate to Keep its Aroma and Taste Intact

Chocolate is not a food that can be consumed immediately after opening the packaging. Therefore, even though chocolate has a long shelf life, sometimes we forget to store it back properly.

Improper chocolate storage can affect its taste and quality, causing it to quickly go stale. Therefore, it is recommended to follow the simple steps below to ensure that your favorite chocolate remains delicious for a longer period of time.

1. Keep in a Cool Place

Chocolate should be stored in a cool and dry place. The ideal temperature for storing chocolate is between 15-20°C.

Avoid storing chocolate in places that are too hot or too cold, as temperature changes can cause the chocolate to clump together. This indicates that the chocolate has started to spoil.

2. Avoid Damp Places

It is important to store chocolate properly, as this sweet snack is susceptible to moisture. Chocolate should be placed in an airtight container or stored in plastic wrap.

As an alternative option, chocolate can also be stored in tin foil to keep the chocolate dry. If the chocolate is in a humid place, the sugar in the chocolate can accelerate the decay process.

3. Keep away from Food with Strong Odor

Chocolate can easily absorb the surrounding aroma. Therefore, it is recommended to store it separately from food, spices, or chemicals that have a strong aroma. Make sure the chocolate storage area remains clean and free from unwanted aromas in food.

4. Check Expiry Date

The majority of commercially sold chocolates have expiration dates. If it has passed that date, it means that the chocolate is no longer suitable for consumption, dear Dream friend.

5. Resealing Packaging

Closing the opened chocolate packaging tightly is very important to prevent air and moisture from entering. Use resealable plastic bags or airtight containers. If you want to store the chocolate for a longer period of time, keep it in the freezer. Report: Aisyah Crshanty/ Source: Times of India
