White chocolate is delicate and susceptible to changes in temperature and humidity. Store it in a cool, dry place, ideally between 60-70°F (15-21°C). Keep it wrapped tightly in its original packaging or an airtight container to prevent it from absorbing odors. Avoid storing white chocolate in the refrigerator or freezer unless necessary, as this can cause it to bloom (develop a white, powdery coating). If refrigerating or freezing, wrap it securely to prevent moisture damage and allow it to come to room temperature slowly before unwrapping to minimize condensation.
