Key Details

  • Refrigerator: 6-8 months
  • Freezer: 12 months
  • Pantry/Counter: 4-6 months
  • Category: Condiments

Why This Matters

  • Spoilage sign: Yellowing
  • Spoilage sign: Rancid or off smell
  • Spoilage sign: Soft/greasy texture
  • Spoilage sign: Stale taste

How To

  1. 1Not technically chocolate — made from cocoa butter, no cocoa solids
  2. 2Most perishable of all chocolate types due to dairy content
  3. 3Store in cool, dark place — very sensitive to heat and light
  4. 4More prone to absorbing surrounding flavors than dark chocolate
  5. 5Use in ganache, baking, or dipping — still good if slightly stale
