JAKARTA - Chocolate must be stored in the right place and in the right way so that it feels good. Most people usually store chocolate in the refrigerator.

However, in fact, the storage of chocolate in the refrigerator is not recommended. This is a place and how to store chocolate properly, reported by Real Simple.

Chocolate should be stored at room temperature, not a refrigerator. When storing at room temperature, chocolate must be tightly wrapped and must be away from heat and water.

Storing a refrigerator can also be done in a cupboard. However, the cupboard must be in a cool, non-hot and humid state, or the temperature is at least no more than 22 degrees Celsius.

One of the reasons chocolate is not recommended to be stored in the refrigerator is because the refrigerator is a place to store lots of food with various flavors.

Chocolate is a food that absorbs the smell. With that, chocolate must be stored away from other foods that have strong flavors so as not to damage the aroma and native taste of chocolate.
