Details
The Guittard Chocolate Company is one of only ten chocolate makers in the US, and one of few that works directly with growers, long before harvest. An expert team at Guittard travels the world, working closely with growers to assess the development of individual crops and to oversee the fermentation and drying process of the cacao beans. Whether working with the bold and traditional, or the unique flavors and characteristics of rare heirloom varieties, Guittard is constantly searching for that elusive blend or single origin bean from which to develop a whole new and exciting chocolate experience. The Guittard French Vanilla Dark Chocolate bar is a well rounded medium dark chocolate bar with a distinct vanilla flavor. With it's medium dark color, 54% cocoa solids content and robust flavor, the French Vanilla Dark Chocolate bar produces a vanilla dark chocolate taste every single time.

Storage & Shelf Life Always store chocolate in a dry, dark place at a temperature of 53.6°F to 60.8°F. So: never in the fridge. Also avoid temperature shocks of more than 50°F: your chocolate might develop a white sheen. This does not affect the taste, but admit it: a dark, shiny and good looking praline or chocolate bar looks far more tempting.
Never store chocolate alongside strong-smelling foodstuffs. Chocolate absorbs odors very easily and this could affect the sublime taste of your favorite treat.
The best temperature to consume chocolate is at 64.4°F to 69.8°F. At this temperature, chocolate remains crunchy, yet is ready to fully release all of its flavors and aromas in your mouth. So always give chocolate the time to acclimatize from its storing temperature to room temperature.
If the above instructions are followed Guittard's chocolate blocks' shelf life are approximately 12 - 18 months.
