It started with a kiss…


+ The Baci story started in 1922 in Perugia, Italy, when a young
chocolatier created a bonbon for her beloved. It was a whole
hazelnut covered in creamy gianduja (a chocolate
and hazelnut spread) and coated in dark chocolate.
She wrapped it in a love note and the bacio
(Italian for kiss) was born.
+ Today, Baci ($7.65 for 143g pkt) are still made
in Perugia and the recipe is unchanged.
