Quick Tip - Selecting the Best Chocolate

Posted by Labels:
The qualities to look for in good chocolate are a glossy, unblemished surface and a clean snap when broken. Try to avoid chocolate that has a dusty white film on it (called “bloom”) as this indicates the chocolate has been improperly stored or has melted and rehardened. Poor quality chocolate will crumble when broken.
