So, here's the thing... chocolate melts! Crazy, right? Shipping chocolate in temperatures over 70℉ can be tricky. Gygi will do our part by including cold packs in your shipment, but keep in mind that these cold packs only stay cold for about 24 hours.

We strongly recommend choosing the fastest shipping method possible, especially if shipping to the Midwest or East Coast. Not doing so may result in partially melted chocolate. Should your compound chocolate arrive melted, it oftentimes can still be used as normal.

Also, consider placing your order at the beginning of the week to limit the amount of time your chocolate spends sitting in a warehouse or shipping truck.

Feel free to reach out to us with any questions regarding shipping, we are happy to help! After all, chocolate is life.

Simply melt Merckens Buttons to 110 F and you're ready to go. Even though Buttons do not require tempering, it is a good idea to monitor the temperature when melting and during use.

Store at 53-60 F in a dry, well ventilated area with no strong odors. Recommended shelf life is up to 18 months in original re-sealable bag or other air-tight container.
