How should I care for my chocolates once they arrive?

For best results, our chocolates should be stored in an airtight container placed in a cool, dry place - temperatures between 60º and 65º F are best. Since we use no artificial preservatives or shelf-life enhancers, we recommend that they be enjoyed within four weeks of receipt.

Can I refrigerate my chocolates?

We strongly recommend against storing your chocolates in the refrigerator. The refrigerator environment can adversely affect both the texture and the flavors of fine chocolates.

What if I have a nut allergy?

We do use nuts in several of our chocolates, so there may be nut traces in our other chocolates as a result. If you have nut allergies you should consider not eating our chocolates.

Do you have any sugar-free products?

Not at this time.

Do any of your products contain gluten?

Our Milk and Dark chocolate bars that contain Caramelized Rice Crispies are NOT gluten free. Malt barley is used during the production of the rice crispies. All our other products are gluten free.

Do any of your products contain egg?

Only our Pistachio Lemon Clusters contain egg. The rest of our products are egg free.

What does "cacao" (e.g. 41% or 72%) mean?

Technically, "% cacao" refers to the amount, as a percentage of the total, of cacao bean plus cocoa butter in chocolate. In a semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate, the remainder is almost all sugar (there is a small amount of vanilla and lecithin). In milk chocolate, the remainder will include milk or milk solids along with some added cocoa butter.

Are your products organic?

Though we use many local and organic ingredients in our products (like organic cream and butter from Straus Dairy) neither the chocolate nor the sugar that we use are certified organic.

Are your products vegan?

No. The chocolate and sugar that we use are not vegan.

Are your products kosher?

Though many of our products are made with ingredients that are certified Kosher, our kitchen facility has not been certified as a Kosher facility, so none of our products are Kosher certified at this point in time.
