Ever opened up a box of chocolates or a foil wrapped chocolate only to find that it has turned an unappetizing shade of grey?  Not particularly appealing are they? 

 

A recent study done by Canadian and Swedish researchers have shown that keeping the luxurious chocolate sheen on your chocolates directly relates to the very unappealing sounding fat blooms (yes, that is what they are called) at bay.  Fat blooms occur when chocolate is not smooth on its surface.  It also occurs due to changes in temperature.  Even a change as small as 2 degrees celsius can impact chocolates consistency. 

 

Chocolates with filled centers were also found to be more prone to the greyish fat blooms due to the softness of the chocolate inside filling impacting the surrounding chocolate.   

Here, at Ultimate Chocolate Shoppe, you don’t have to worry about old chocolate and fat blooms!  All of our handmade, gourmet chocolates are delivered fresh and quickly to you.  And with how delicious they are, we aren’t too worried that they will be around long enough to turn grey.
