August 25, 2006, Newsletter Issue #30: When Good Chocolate Goes Bad

Tip of the Week

If kept in a cool dark place and wrapped well, dark chocolate will stay good for one year before the taste is compromised. Candy containing milk chocolate, however, will begin to show its age after about six months. To tell if chocolate is getting old, look for white spots. These spots are called “bloom” and appear when the cocoa butter separates and rises to the surface of the chocolate.
