If the room temperature is too high in summer, it can also be sealed with plastic bags and put in the refrigerator for preservation. Do not open it immediately after taking it out. Chocolate must not be stored directly in the refrigerator to avoid frosting, and then opened for consumption after the temperature rises.

Matters needing attention in chocolate preservation

1. Store chocolate in a place with direct sunlight and high temperature. Too high temperature will melt the cocoa butter in chocolate and transfer it to the surface of chocolate. Chocolate will melt at about 34 degrees Celsius. In direct sunlight, chocolate will melt in a short time.

2. It is not advisable to store chocolate in the refrigerator with low temperature. If the temperature is too low, the sugar in chocolate will precipitate, and the surface of chocolate will frost and turn white quickly. Although it does not affect food safety, it will greatly affect the taste.

3. Put the chocolate in an environment where the temperature changes too fast or the humidity is too high. Too fast temperature change or too high humidity will precipitate cocoa butter, which will lead to frosting and whitening of chocolate surface. Although there is no food safety hazard, it will also affect the taste.

4. Store chocolate with other strong food. Chocolate has strong taste absorption ability and is easy to cross-taste.
