HOW SHOULD CHOCOLATE BE STORED?
The chocolate should be stored in a dry, cool place, approximately 65 degrees Fahrenheit, well-wrapped, and away from other odors. Chocolate will absorb surrounding odors.
We do not recommend refrigeration, but if you find that you do not have proper storage for the chocolate or need to hold it slightly longer than the recommended shelf life, place the chocolates in an air-tight wrapper and refrigerate. When ready to use, remove from refrigerator and allow the box to come to room temperature before unwrapping to avoid condensation forming.
WHAT IS THE SHELF LIFE OF THE PRODUCTS?
Branson’s Chocolates truffles are fresh products and have an approximate 3-4 month shelf life, when stored properly. (See storing chocolate above.) Caramels have a 6 month shelf life, when stored properly. Other products, such as our bars and specialty items have a much longer shelf life. The shelf life of The Bar Collection is approximately 9-12 months, depending on storage. Please note that we use only the freshest, natural ingredients. Our chocolate does not contain any paraffin wax or other preservatives.
