Buying Quality Chocolates: Their Worth

Buying quality chocolate at a good price depends largely on chocolate prices and the quantities you wish to purchase. Therefore, buying one bag is not the same as buying 5 boxes. There are some packs available to save a bit of money.

The value of chocolate is established from the price of cocoa beans, its main raw material. Some can be around €50 per kilo and others can reach more than €90.

The origin of cocoa dates back to the discovery of America; in Europe the plant needed to extract the fruit did not exist. Little by little it was incorporated into cooking. At first chocolate was bitter, then it was sweetened with sugar until it became what it is today.

Another important aspect is stock. If large quantities are produced in a short time and stored, it is possible to reduce production costs. This is something we never do.

Finally, the price of chocolate varies depending on whether it is mixed with other raw materials, such as almonds, hazelnuts or macadamias or sugar. Cheap chocolate usually has a lot of sugar.

What is the ideal temperature to store chocolate?

The ideal temperature to keep chocolate should be between 16°C and 20°C. A temperature close to room temperature. The important thing is that there are no sudden temperature changes. That’s something established brands like Nestlé know well.

In this company we have a special warehouse for this type of cocoa and chocolate-derived products. This room maintains a temperature of exactly 18°C throughout the year, always guaranteeing a product in perfect condition.

Chocolate shipments are always made in thick cardboard boxes that keep the chocolate and preserve it from sudden temperature changes. Chocolates are shipped in a way that ensures they arrive in the best state of preservation. Even in summer.

When you receive bars of your favorite sweet at home you can store them perfectly in a cupboard.

Buying Chocolates for Home Delivery

We offer you chocolate delivery to your home in a simple way. We ship within 48 hours maximum to your doorstep. If you need to give a gift, contact us via chat and we will answer your questions.

Tell us approximately how many units you want to buy and, if it’s to give chocolate as a gift, we’ll tell you approximately when it will arrive.

Once delivered to your home, how do we store it?

Buying chocolate is not always easy. Chocolate is a difficult product to maintain all year round, especially dark chocolate.

You have to understand that these are not candies to eat at odd hours. Frequent temperature changes affect it, causing its color and texture to change. That is one of the main reasons why we don’t store units in stock.

Chocolate should always be stored in a dry, cool place away from sunlight where a constant temperature is maintained. Changes between night and day, depending on the area of Spain, can be enough to change some properties of the product. This doesn’t mean it’s bad, but its properties are affected and its color is not as dark or its flavor is less intense.

Buy chocolates for cooking

Buying chocolate for cooking is common. Everything we make can be used in recipes for coating or cakes and even to prepare chocolate-covered nuts. You should know that it’s real chocolate.

Since it’s very good, you won’t need many grams to make chocolate snacks. All the chocolate melts very well, both dark chocolate and white chocolate.
