Freshness of Chocolates

Studies have been made, about how fresh are the chocolates we eat. The range is between one month to eleven months before the consumer can buy most chocolate bars. Some are made so they "can" be stored or eaten a year or more after being produced.

But most consumers want fresh chocolates. Fresh gourmet chocolates are shipped to the consumer within a few days of being made. Chocolatiers make chocolates when an order is placed. The chocolates should be eaten soon after opening the box, to ensure freshness in every bite. The rich chocolate morsels are made for eating not storing.
