How to Use This Calculator
- Select the chocolate type (dark, milk, or white) and packaging method.
- The calculator shows maximum safe storage temperature, maximum humidity, shelf life in days and months, ideal temperature and humidity ranges, and the thresholds at which sugar and fat bloom become likely.
- Store chocolate below the displayed temperature and humidity limits to prevent bloom.
- If bloom occurs above the sugar bloom risk threshold, switch to airtight packaging with a desiccant packet.
