How do I store chocolate correctly?

It is best to store chocolate in a cool and dry place at a constant temperature between 14°C and 18°C.

Why has a white film formed on the chocolate surface?

If chocolate is stored too warm for a long time or at very higher temperatures for a short time, the cocoa butter contained in the cocoa mass escapes and causes a typical white-grey discolouration, also known as fat bloom. The fat crystallisation does not affect the taste, it is only an optical defect. We monitor the temperature of our chocolate until it leaves the factory. After this stage in the process, our customers, particularly retail companies in the food trade, are responsible for proper storage. When storing in vehicles during transport, or in your home, please remember never to store chocolate near heat sources.

Do you host factory tours?

We are an IFS (International Food Standard) certified company and make chocolate to the highest hygienic standards. In order to prevent contamination of products. we never offer guided tours. We firmly that this is also in the best interests of our customers.

Can I buy Windel products online?

Unfortunately, it is not yet possible to order products directly online via our homepage.

Are there any free products, samples or free chocolate to try out?

Does Windel offer free promotional material?

. We also do not send out any promotional items such as biros, pins, stickers and the like.

I have an Easter calendar from Windel. When is the first door to open?

Sweetening the time before Christmas is a delicious tradition. And what is possible at Christmas is also possible at Easter. With the 10-door Easter calendar, you start 10 days before Easter (Easter Sunday) and open the door to a piece of chocolate every day. There is also another way: Open the first door on Easter Sunday and reward yourself for enduring Lent.
