The Cold Touch Behind Chocolate Excellence
You buy a chocolate bar, toss it in your bag, and by the time you get home it is soft and messy. We have all been there. Chocolate may be everyone’s favourite treat, but it is also one of the most sensitive foods. Just a slight rise in temperature can change its texture, dull its shine, and even alter its flavour.
Now imagine that same challenge for chocolate makers, distributors and retailers in Malaysia, where thousands of bars are on the move every day. Without the right storage, an entire shipment can lose its quality before it even reaches the store.
Finding Chocolate’s Sweet Spot
Finding Chocolate’s Sweet Spot
Chocolate has a narrow comfort zone. When it gets too warm, the cocoa butter softens and the chocolate melts, leaving a dull white film on the surface. If it gets too cold, moisture can build up as it warms, creating a grainy texture. Even high humidity can spoil its snap and shine.
That is why keeping chocolate in the right environment is not just about taste but it is about protecting the brand and the experience for the customer who will eventually open that bar.
From Factory to Shelf
From Factory to Shelf
A single chocolate bar has a long journey before it reaches you:
- Crafted and packed at the factory.
- Shipped across borders, sometimes over weeks.
- Stored in warehouses until orders are ready.
- Loaded into trucks for delivery.
- Placed on shelves at the store.
At any point, a small mistake can cause melting, bloom, or even waste.

At IGLO, we know chocolate needs more than just a cold room, it needs precision. Chocolate is sensitive to temperature swings, humidity, and even how it’s handled. A few degrees too warm or a sudden chill can cause bloom, melting, or grainy texture.
That’s why our facilities are HACCP and Halal-certified, giving chocolatiers and distributors the confidence that every bar is stored in a safe, clean, and fully compliant environment.
We maintain precise temperature and humidity control to keep chocolate glossy and smooth, follow strict handling practices to prevent breakage or contamination, and use real-time monitoring so that if anything shifts, we act fast. Whether it’s everyday stock or a seasonal surge before festive seasons, we have the flexibility to keep chocolate in its “happy zone” until it’s ready for delivery.
With IGLO, chocolate gets the care it deserves. From factory to store shelf, we preserve with care so that every bite tastes as good as the day it was made.
