Summer Note 🌞

Ordering during the summer:

During the summer months, we check the forecast daily in correspondence with each postcode to determine whether it is too hot to send our chocolate. If the temperature is to reach 27°C, we will hold your order as this is the melting point for chocolate. As a result, there may be delays when ordering. 

How to store chocolate in the summer:

Enjoying a bar of chocolate at the park is the perfect picnic companion, but chocolate in the sunshine is a risky business! Here's how we recommend to store and display chocolate in high temperatures: 

☀️ Chocolate starts to melt at 27/28 degrees

☀️ Be sure to store/display chocolate in a cool, dark place (but not in the fridge!). If chocolate overheats, the bar will come out of “temper” and the cocoa butter will rise to the surface - causing white streaky marks and a change in texture.

☀️ If you absolutely have to keep it in the fridge to stop it from melting only do this for a short period of time (chocolate left in the fridge for long periods can condensate or change the cocoa butter structure and texture as it melts). 

☀️ If your shop is extremely hot, drop us an email and we can send you empty boxes of chocolate to display and keep the stock somewhere cool. hello@bareboneschocolate.co.uk
