Yes some of our ingredients are organic but not all of them. We don’t use flavorings or pastes, so anything fruit flavored is made with real fruit, often times, organic fruit.

We don’t add any preservatives so our chocolates are best when consumed within 2 weeks of purchasing. However, they will last several weeks but as they get older the fresh taste will diminish and anything with fruit may begin to mold.

Yes, you can freeze them but there is a process to help ensure the product doesn’t lose its shine once defrosted. The package should first be wrapped air tight, then refrigerated for 24 hours, and then placed in the freezer. You can store them there for up to a few months. When ready to consume, place them back in the refrigerator for 24 hours, then room temperature for 12 hours. We don’t recommend storing them in the fridge for long periods of time due to the possibility of moisture accumulating on the surface and ruining the appearance. 

Couverture Chocolate is the highest quality chocolate available. The chocolate is ground to a finer texture than regular retail chocolate and contains a high percentage of cocoa butter. Both of these qualities lead to a superior flavor and texture and make it the ideal choice for Artisan Confections.

Yes shipping is not cheap and that is because we are mailing chocolate, a highly delicate and temperature sensitive medium. Shipping these requires cold packs to ensure they don’t melt, cryovac bags to keep the actual chocolate boxes safe from condensation given off by the cold packs, insulated mailers to help regulate the temperature, and then a cardboard box for added security and uniformed shipping.
