Why Your Homemade Chocolate Turns White (Blooming) and How Edariyo Magic Silk Fixes It

If you've ever opened your homemade chocolate only to find white streaks or grey patches on the surface, you're not alone. This common issue is known as chocolate bloom, and it affects both texture and appearance. The good news? With the right technique—and the help of Edariyo Magic Silk—you can completely eliminate chocolate bloom and make your creations look glossy and professional.

Blooming doesn’t mean the chocolate is spoiled, but it does show improper handling, tempering, or storage. Let’s explore why this happens and how to fix it easily.

What Is Chocolate Bloom?

Chocolate bloom is a visible white or pale layer that appears on the surface of chocolate. There are two main types:

1. Fat Bloom

Caused by unstable cocoa butter crystals rising to the surface. This is the most common type in homemade chocolates.

2. Sugar Bloom

Occurs when moisture dissolves sugar on the chocolate’s surface, which later re-crystallizes into white patches.

Both types affect texture, taste, and appearance.

Main Reasons Your Chocolate Turns White

1. Incorrect Tempering

If chocolate isn’t tempered correctly—meaning it doesn’t form stable crystals—it will bloom quickly.

2. Overheating or Underheating

Chocolate is very sensitive to temperature. Using the wrong chocolate melting temperature leads to poor crystal formation.

3. Moisture Exposure

Even slight humidity can cause sugar bloom.

4. Poor Storage

Storing chocolate in warm or fluctuating environments leads to blooming. Chocolate needs cool, dry, and consistent temperatures.

How to Prevent Chocolate Blooming

1. Temper the Chocolate Correctly

Tempering aligns cocoa butter crystals into a stable structure. Using Magic Silk makes the process quick and reliable.

Even beginner chocolatiers can achieve premium results.

2. Store Chocolates Properly

Ideal storage conditions:

• Temperature: 18–22°C
  
  

• Humidity: Below 50%
  
  

• Away from sunlight
  
  

• Airtight containers
  
  

Avoid refrigerating unless absolutely necessary, as sudden temperature changes cause condensation.

3. Use Quality Ingredients

Low-grade chocolate contains unstable fats, which increase the risk of blooming.
