1. How should I store my chocolates?
The optimum holding temperature is between 15-20ēC with low humidity.

To maintain the freshness of your purchase, we recommend that you store your chocolates in
a cool dry cupboard away from heat or light source and any perfumed items such as soaps etc.
And never leave them in parked car for any length of time.   Back to top

 

2. Can I store chocolate in the refrigerator?
Only refrigerate in extreme weather conditions, in which case place in an airtight container or
double wrap and place in the bottom section of the fridge. The chocolates should be slowly
brought back to room temperature before unpacking, several hours before consuming.

3.Why can chocolate turn white?
If chocolate is exposed to temperature fluctuations, the chocolate may appear white.
The chocolate is still edible, but the quality and texture will be affected, see ‘how should
I store my chocolates?’ to ensure your chocolate is kept at its best.   Back to top

 

4. Does the best chocolate have the highest cocoa content?
Not necessarily. The key to producing premium quality chocolate is to achieve a balance of
flavours and fine textures from the cocoa beans and the manufacturing process. Very high
cocoa content can in fact make chocolate quite unpalatable. Years of manufacturing
experience and a commitment to using only the finest quality cocoa beans and employing
traditional manufacturing techniques, enables haigh’s to continue producing a well balanced,
award winning chocolate.   Back to top

 

5. Do you sell milk free chocolate?
No, our milk and dark chocolate blends are now manufactured on the same machinery. Although
there is no milk product added we are unable to declare milk free status for any chocolate products.

6. Are any of your products gluten free?
The majority of our products are categorised as “no detectable gluten”. This status can include
ingredients which may be wheat derived however are so highly processed that there is undetectable
residual gluten and therefore are gluten free by the australian standard “no detectable gluten”.
Our retail team can supply a list of products with this status.

in our stores.

8.What is compound chocolate?
Compound chocolate is not classed as chocolate as it contains added vegetable fats and cocoa
powder and often include other additives. Compound chocolate can leave a very greasy feel on
the palate and lacks the full and complex flavours found in real chocolate.   Back to top
