Chocolate is a highly absorbent product and so it is really important to keep it enclosed in an airtight container. Rarely, we have people contact us and say their chocolate tastes strange some time after they have received it. This is usually because they have kept it in the fridge or cupboard with other products that have influenced the taste (eg. onions or other smelly things). For this same reason, we don’t put mint chocolates in our gift boxes as the mint smell/flavour is so strong, all the other chocolates start to absorb it and they end up with a slight mint taste after a while. We also store our mint chocolates away from all other chocolates.
