If the area you are storing it in is sufficiently musty to cause moulding,
it's a bad place to store chocolate anyway because even if the chocolate
itself doesn't become mouldy, the flavour will absorb the odours from the
air. I always pay very close attention to even the slightest hint of mould,
which is one reason I don't store it in my basement. In general, basements
are risky because they often have mould spores floating around.
OTOH, I have to wonder about what importance level chocolate holds in your
life if you didn't open the container all summer... ;-)
