PRODUCT CARE & SHELF LIFE
The "shelf life" of the product refers to the length of time the product will remain fresh after you receive it. 
 
Truffles:
Truffles have a shelf life of 10 days to insure freshness.  All of Herdessa truffles should be stored in the refrigerator until they are ready to be enjoyed.  Refrigeration will not increase the product's shelf life.  If you do not plan on consuming the truffles immediately, they can be frozen in a seal tight package for up to 4 months.  Bring the truffles to room temperature before consuming.
 
Other Products: 
Ideally, most chocolate products should be stored at 67-69 degrees Farenheit.
 
Toffee:  2 months
Chocolate Enrobed Fruits: 2 months
 Filled Chocolate Bars: 2 months
Solid Chocolate Bars:  6 months
Cocoa Blends:  9 months
Bonbons:  2 to 4 weeks
Animal Crackers:  6 months
 
Parisian Macarons
 Parisian Macarons have a shelf life of 3 to 5 days tops.  We ship our Parisian Macarons next day air only.  If they are not consumed immediately, we suggest storing them in an airtight container in the freezer.  They will keep for 6 months.  Remove what you want and allow to thaw at room temperature for 1/2 hour.
