Frequently Asked Questions:
Shelf Life: Our chocolates remain in perfect condition for up to 6 weeks if they last that long .
Storage Temperature: Store chocolates between 12-18°C. Avoid refrigerating, as it may cause "bloom," which alters appearance but not taste. To prevent this, place the chocolate box in a sealed plastic bag.
Hot Weather: We ensure your order reaches you in perfect condition by storing chocolates in an air-conditioned room and holding dispatch until later in the day until temperatures cool.
Nut Allergies: Our chocolates are not suitable for those with nut allergies, as small traces of nuts may be present.
Dairy/Gluten Allergies: Most chocolates are gluten-free, and vegan options are available.
Damaged Package/Contents: Please retain any packaging and contact us immediately for a replacement if your package arrives damaged.
At the Blind Chocolatier we re-use as much packaging as possible to save on waste and cost .
