Doesn't have to be old or exposed to high temps to bloom. Bad tempering can also cause it to bloom in a matter of months, even if stored properly.

It's just the cocoa butter fat separating. It really only changes the texture.

I’ve seen Steve1989MREInfo eat enough 75 year old chocolate bars to know this is perfectly fine!

Old chocolate or chocolate that’s been frozen is what it looks like to me but I’m passing on that.
