Chocolate Bloom Is Not So Bad

Chocolates are normally smooth and glossy. Nevertheless, there is always a chance that you will have chocolates having white blemishes. These blemishes are known as chocolate bloom. It could actually be an indication that the chocolate was not properly stored.

Chocolate bloom is a sandy white film which is usually seen on chocolate’s surface. They may not look pretty at all, but they are usually not harmful. Bloom is the byproduct of the cocoa butter or sugar that has been drawn out to the surface.

There are two types of chocolate bloom: sugar bloom and fat bloom. Since chocolate has fat contents, a whitish gray substance would form on its surface when it gets exposed to warm temperatures for quite some time. The heat tends to pull out the cocoa butter out of the chocolate, and it causes the white pattern on the surface.

Another reason for it is humidity or cold temperatures. If you store chocolates in places with too much humidity or extremely cold ones like the fridge, and then you suddenly expose them to warm temperatures, a sugar bloom could take place. It happens because the surface of the chocolate will condense due to moisture. Sugar crystals tend to remain of the chocolate’s surface after evaporation of moisture, thus leaving a white coating.

Chocolate blooms aren’t really attractive, but it is still okay to eat it given that it is pure, and it does not contain any filling. A small chocolate bloom would not mess with the chocolaty taste, however the texture would not be as smooth.
