Wrap Tightly for Maximum Protection
The first step in storing chocolate truffles is to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or wax paper.
This wrapping will prevent air from entering which could dry out or change the texture of the ganache. Make sure each truffle is individually wrapped so they don’t stick together during storage.
Store in a tightly closed container
Once the truffles are wrapped, place them in an airtight container. This container helps maintain humidity and prevents aroma contamination from other foods in the refrigerator or freezer.
Choose a sturdy container to protect the truffles from pressure or impact.

Homemade chocolate truffles are best stored in the refrigerator if they are to be consumed within two weeks. For longer storage, place in the freezer.
Before serving, leave the truffles at room temperature for 15-20 minutes so that the texture becomes soft again and the taste is optimal.
Avoid Direct Exposure to Light and Heat
Make sure chocolate truffles are stored away from direct light or heat sources. This condition can cause the chocolate layer to melt and change the texture of the ganache inside.
Mark with Retention Date
To make quality control easier, label the truffle container with the manufacturing and storage dates. These simple steps will help ensure the truffles are enjoyed in the best condition.
