Storing Chocolate Properly
Two rules — cool and dry, and not the fridge — cover nearly all of it:
Cool, dry and dark, but not the fridge.
A cupboard away from the oven and out of sunlight. The fridge is damp and full of smells, and both of those get into chocolate.
If it must go in the fridge, seal it first.
In hot weather that may be the only option. Put it in an airtight container or a sealed bag, and let it come back to room temperature before opening — otherwise condensation forms on the surface.
Keep it away from strong-smelling food.
Chocolate absorbs odours readily. A box left open next to onions or cheese picks both up, and it does not come back out.
Reseal an opened box properly.
Air and humidity dull the surface and soften anything crisp. The inner wrapper folded down, or the box into a container.
Do not panic about bloom.
The pale grey film on chocolate that has warmed and re-set is fat or sugar risen to the surface. It is a cosmetic change and the chocolate is fine to eat.
Go by the date on the pack.
It is printed there and it moves with stock rotation, so the pack is the reference rather than any general figure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is in it, and is it suitable for someone with an allergy?
The ingredient and allergen statement printed on the pack is the only answer to that, and it is the manufacturer's to give. Nuts, milk and soy are common in confectionery. If the recipient has an allergy, check the pack before sending.
Will chocolate survive delivery in summer?
It may arrive soft or bloomed in warm weather — a courier van on an Auckland summer afternoon gets hot. If it is going somewhere warm or likely to sit on a doorstep, it is worth checking with the store before ordering.
There is a pale film on the chocolate. Has it gone off?
No. That is bloom — fat or sugar that has risen to the surface after the chocolate warmed and re-set. It is a cosmetic change only and the chocolate is perfectly fine to eat.
Should I keep chocolate in the fridge?
Usually not. A fridge is damp and full of odours, and chocolate takes on both. A cool, dry, dark cupboard away from the oven is better. If hot weather leaves you no choice, seal it in an airtight container first and let it return to room temperature before opening, or condensation will form on the surface.
Can I add chocolates to a flower order?
Yes. Add them to the same cart and they travel with the bouquet. At this price they work as an add-on that completes a gift rather than as a present on their own.
How long will it keep?
Go by the best-before date printed on the pack rather than any general figure, since it moves as stock rotates. If the gift is being held for an occasion, check it before you buy.
How much is delivery, and is there a minimum order?
The base delivery fee is $5 NZD, with free delivery on orders above $69 in the Auckland region — the exact amount is confirmed at checkout. There is no minimum order value, and you can combine items from other local stores in the same cart.
