It is recommended to store them at a temperature between 10°C and 17°C. Avoid humidity and temperature variations by keeping them in airtight containers. Remember to close your bag after each use.
It is not recommended to store them in a refrigerator, in fact, condensation can form when the red sugars come out, which accelerates the absorption of moisture.
There is no DLC, the sugar acts as a natural preservative which gives a very long consumption period. However, their organoleptic properties evolve, so there is a Best Before Date.
BBD: 6 to 12 MONTHS (depending on compliance with instructions).
And then? They change, it's a natural phenomenon, sugar is hygroscopic by nature, it attracts the humidity present in the air.
Appearance: The initially crystalline and shiny surface of the red sugars begins to absorb moisture from the surrounding air, the sugar dissolves slightly creating a matte and opaque appearance.
What about the taste? It evolves, softer, sweeter and melting.
This is due to recrystallization and modification of the molecular structure by humidity. This alters the sensation in the mouth (the texture) but also the perceived taste.
Is there a danger? None! This phenomenon does not affect food health, so unless there are signs of degradation (which is rare with sugar candies), they remain completely edible.
