Not fridge: expert explains how to store chocolate properly

There is a lot of debate in the world about the right place to store chocolate. Some people believe that the ideal place is the refrigerator because it is there that the product will never melt or lose its shape. And there are those who will never eat chocolate that has just been taken out of the fridge.

Joshua Houston, a food storage expert at Household Quotes, warns against one of the most popular places for chocolate, the Express writes. As it turned out, he is categorically against storing this product in the refrigerator.

Chocolate can absorb foreign odors. And their highest concentration in a closed space is usually found in the refrigerator. Eating chocolate with the flavor of other foods is very unpleasant, so it's best to avoid t. In addition, cold can take away the flavor of chocolate. As a result, you may notice that it simply tastes less good.

Another rather big problem that arises when storing chocolate in the refrigerator is discoloration. The humidity in the refrigerator is quite high, and as a result, sugar rises to the surface of the chocolate, forming white spots. Thus you will simply not want to eat chocolate with such an appearance. Therefore, it is best to store chocolate in a kitchen cabinet, away from sunlight and temperature changes.
