Storage and Shelf Life:

Chocolate must be kept in a cool (preferably below 65 F) and dry environment. When kept in proper storage chocolate can be in good condition for a year or two or even longer. Chocolate is susceptible to picking up "off notes" from strongly flavored products such as caraway, onion, garlic, etc., and should be stored separately. Occasionally there may be light-coloured streaks or film on the surface of the chocolate. This occurs naturally and is a characteristic of chocolate. It will disappear when the chocolate is re-melted.
