Q: Why are chocolate prices increasing at the moment?
A: Chocolate prices are currently increasing due to a combination of factors, including rising costs of raw materials such as cocoa beans, global supply chain disruptions, and increased demand. Adverse weather conditions in key cocoa-producing regions have also affected crop yields, further contributing to price hikes. Additionally, the cost of transportation and energy has risen, impacting overall production and distribution expenses.

A: Chocolate may melt in transit, especially during warmer months. If your chocolate arrives melted, rest assured it is still safe to use. Simply allow the chocolate to cool and solidify, and then remelt it according to your recipe’s instructions. The quality and taste will remain unaffected.
Q: Why does my chocolate sometimes have a white coating on the surface?
A: The white coating on chocolate, known as "bloom," occurs when the fat or sugar crystals rise to the surface. This can happen due to temperature fluctuations during storage.
