To enjoy at its best, chocolate should be kept dry, cool (below 18°C/64°F) and airtight. Iain Burnett's chocolates are made from fresh, natural ingredients and best before dates vary.  As a guide all items will be dispatched with a Best Before date of at least 2 weeks, noting that delivery times vary depending on destination.  If this shelf-life is not sufficient for you, please Contact Us and we will be happy to help. The Velvet Truffle Range must be refrigerated, as stated on the packaging.If the delivery has been requested in warm weather (over 20°C) the chocolates may arrive a little soft.  We recommend immediately removing the outer delivery packaging, wrapping the boxes with cling-film and refrigerating them for a few hours.  To serve, allow the boxes to come to room temperature for approximately 2 hours before removing the cling film.  Any chocolates that have been allowed to reach room temperature should be eaten as soon as possible to be enjoyed at their best.  Please see here for more information about Delivery.
