Indulge in the rich, decadent flavor of chocolate truffles, a luxurious treat perfect for any occasion. Properly stored, these delightful confections can maintain their exquisite taste and texture for extended periods, ensuring a satisfying gourmet experience.

Storage Time

Best enjoyed within 1–2 weeks at room temperature, up to 3–4 weeks in the refrigerator, and can be frozen for up to 3 months.

Temperature

Ideal storage is cool and dry, between 15-18°C (60-65°F). If refrigerating, ensure they are well-sealed.

Freezing

Yes, chocolate truffles can be frozen to preserve their quality. Wrap each truffle individually in plastic wrap, then place them in an airtight container or freezer bag. To thaw, transfer the container to the refrigerator overnight to prevent condensation and maintain texture. Freezing may slightly alter the texture of ganache-filled truffles, making them a bit firmer upon thawing.

Signs of Spoilage

• White, powdery bloom on the surface (sugar bloom or fat bloom), indicating changes in temperature or humidity.
• Off, sour, or rancid smell, a clear sign of spoilage.
• Sticky or greasy texture, especially if they were originally firm.
