Many of our gourmet chocolate products contain nuts, dairy products and some contain soy lecithin which is used in some chocolates as an emulsifier.

Ingredients are noted next to each chocolate description on our web site for your reference when making a selection.

All of our products are created in small batches in a kitchen that also handles peanuts, tree nuts, soy and dairy. We take great care in our handling and packing to avoid cross-contamination to ensure quality and safety.

Those with allergies and sensitivities should not consume these products. Although we realize that this may disappoint some of our customers who suffer from food allergies, the safety and well being of all customers is our top priority.

We recommend enjoying your gourmet confections within a few weeks of receiving them. To experience the full impact of our chocolates and their premium flavors we recommend chocolates be enjoyed and stored at room temperature (65 to 75F).

If saving for a later date, freeze in an airtight container for up to 4 months, to thaw, place the airtight container in the refrigerator for 24 hours before bringing to room temperature, as to avoid condensation. Confections will also keep in an airtight container refrigerated for up to 30 days. For the best tasting experience, bring chocolates to room temperature before enjoying. It is best to store chocolates away from products with strong odors since chocolate can absorb odors.

No. Our gourmet products contain no preservatives and are made from the finest ingredients available, however, many of our products do not contain organic ingredients and therefore are not classified as organic.

Northwest Expressions makes all or our own gourmet confections and cookies on a small island near Olympia Washington. See the “About Us” page for more details.
