Caring for Your Chex: Tips from the Chexmaker

At PLANTGEN, we pour our passion and craftsmanship into every slice, ensuring it reaches you in peak condition. To maintain the unique flavours, textures, and freshness of your Chex, it’s essential to handle and store it with care. Here are the Chexmaker’s best tips to help you enjoy your plant-based creations to the fullest.

1. Keep It Cool

Chex is best stored in the refrigerator at a temperature between 2°C and 5°C. This environment ensures its creamy texture stays intact and its flavours remain vibrant. If you’ve purchased multiple blocks, consider keeping them in the coldest part of your fridge—typically the back of the bottom shelf.

2. Wrap It Right

Proper wrapping helps preserve Chex’s delicate balance of moisture and flavour. Once opened, wrap your Chex in wax paper or parchment paper to allow it to breathe and maintain its natural texture. After wrapping, place it in an airtight container to shield it from strong odours and extend its freshness.

3. Handle with Care

When serving Chex, use a clean, dry knife to prevent introducing excess moisture or crumbs that could impact the flavour. If you're slicing multiple varieties, clean your knife between cuts to ensure each Chex maintains its distinct taste and aroma.

4. Timing Is Everything

For the best taste and texture, let Chex come to room temperature before serving. Take it out of the fridge about 30 minutes prior to eating. This allows the natural flavours to shine and the texture to become perfectly creamy and melt-in-your-mouth.

5. The Perfect Serving Setup

When presenting Chex on a platter, arrange it alongside fruits, nuts, crackers, or fresh bread to complement its flavours. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, as these can soften it too quickly.

6. Eat It Fresh

Once opened, Chex is best consumed within 3–5 days for optimal flavour and texture. Its natural plant-based ingredients are fresh and minimally processed, so enjoying it sooner ensures a better experience.

A Final Word from the Chexmaker

Caring for your Chex isn’t just about preserving its quality; it’s about honouring the artistry and effort that goes into every piece. By following these tips, you’ll savour every creamy, umami, and indulgent bite just as it was intended.
