Allergens, ingredients and keeping
An allergy is not a preference, so this page prints the actual ingredient lists rather than a summary of them.
What is in the box
- Fresh strawberries.
- Chocolate: see the four lists below. A box uses dark and milk unless you asked otherwise.
- Coloured cocoa butter, used to paint the decoration.
- Whatever decoration you asked for: edible gold, dried rose petals, marshmallow.
Contains milk and soy. Both come from the chocolate itself, as the lists show.
If you have a nut allergy, please ask before ordering and I will check the current packaging for you.
The chocolate, ingredient by ingredient
| Chocolate | Ingredients | Cocoa |
|---|---|---|
| Dark Belgian | cocoa mass, sugar, cocoa butter, emulsifier (soy lecithin), natural vanilla flavour | min 54.5% cocoa |

The colour is painted on with coloured cocoa butter. Its exact composition is per the supplier’s packaging and I can read it to you before you order.
How long they keep
Best on the day they arrive. That is not a sales line: the berries are dipped the morning of delivery, and fresh fruit under chocolate has a window measured in hours, not days.
| In the fridge, +2 to +6 °C | up to 24 hours |
|---|---|
| At room temperature | about 6 hours |
| Away from strong-smelling food | chocolate picks up odours fast |
| Not in the sun, not in a parked car | the coating softens and the gloss goes |
If something is wrong with the box
Send me a photo within 24 hours of delivery and tell me what is wrong. Fresh fruit does not give either of us longer than that to judge it fairly. If the box is faulty, I replace it or refund it, your choice.
