Storage and Shelf Life of Nuts and Chocolates
Stored correctly, all nuts and chocolates are Best Before 12 months.
It is recommended Best Before for all Candied Nuts 6 months only.
The best way to store nuts is in an airtight jar/container, in a cool dry position, away from light, such as a pantry (especially for candied products, which will go sticky if left open)) Chocolates should be stored in an airtight jar/container, in a cool dry position, away from light – do not put chocolate or candied nuts in the refrigerator!
Allergens present in Nuts and Chocolates
Most products at The Nut Shop contain nuts. Anyone with severe nut allergies should not purchase any of our products.
Whilst we manufacture a range of nut free products, they have come into contact with machinery that has been used to manufacture nut products and therefore are not safe for those with severe nut allergies.
For those with dairy allergies, all our raw, roasted, salted and candied (but not buttered) products are dairy free. Whilst our dark chocolate does not contain milk, we cannot guarantee that it has not come into contact with milk chocolate products.
For those with soy allergies, all raw, roasted, salted, candied and buttered nut products are soy free. Soya lecithin is used as an emulsifier in all chocolate.
The Nut Shop also uses wheat based glucose in a number of items, which should be noted by those with Gluten intolerance. Gluten is present in products bought in to The Nut Shop such as all Licorice, marshmallow and many lolly lines. Click here for a full list of Gluten Free Products
Chocolate used at The Nut Shop
The Nut Shop uses only Pure Chocolate in all manufacturing. We blend varieties to our own composition - Dark Chocolate has 69% cocoa solids. The difference between Compound and Pure is that compound chocolate has had the natural cocoa butter replaced by oil (fat) which changes the composition, taste, texture and melting temperature of the product.
