Real Food Ingredients
(Separation Does Occur)
Here are some tips to keep your spread spreading
Due to our commitment to unprocessed ingredients, Delessa is temperature sensitive.
Natural separation may occur.
Instead of emulsifiers, hydrogenated oils, or processed additives like resistant dextrin, we use only whole food ingredients. These detailed tips will help you get the perfect experience from your Delessa chocolate.

Detailed Storage & Serving Tips
For Concordia's (Purple Label) & Damara's (Green Label) - Refrigerator Blends
- Store in refrigerator once you receive your shipment
- If separation has occurred, simply shake before refrigerating
- Remember it will turn to liquid if you leave it out on the counter
- Designed for perfect spreadability straight from the fridge
For Cordelia's (Burgundy Label) - Room Temperature Blend
Important: These should NOT be stored in the refrigerator - they will get rock hard!
- Store at room temperature, ideally 71-76°F
- Coconut oil separation may appear white until warmed
- Cordelia is the most temperature-sensitive - prone to hardening (under 71°) or melting (over 76°)
To Warm (if separated and hardened):
Do NOT cook or use a microwave!
- Best method: Set jar by a sunny window, let it melt, stir or shake, then cool down
- Oven method: Preheat oven to 170°F for 1-2 minutes (use timer!), then turn oven off before putting jars inside. Let sit 10-30 minutes depending on coldness
- Water method: Hold jar under running hot water, or place in bowl of hot water (not exceeding 150°F)
To Cool (if melted in hot weather):
- Shake jar well if completely melted, or stir if only partly melted
- Refrigerate for approximately 30 minutes - Always use a timer!
- For quicker cooling: freezer for only 5-10 minutes (use timer to prevent over-hardening)
- The outside usually hardens first, then temperature evens out
