Baci by Perugina: Dark Chocolate, Hazelnut and a Love Note
Every Baci begins with a story. Luisa Spagnoli created the chocolate by kneading hazelnut grains, adding a whole hazelnut and covering it all in dark chocolate. She first called it "Cazzotto," because its shape resembled a punch. The silver wrapping with blue writing and the tucked-in love note came from Perugina's Art Director, and one famous note asks, "And what is a kiss? A pink apostrophe between the word t'amo." A 1927 advertisement claimed one hundred million Baci had been distributed in just five years, and in 1939 Perugina opened its first store in the United States.
Here you can discover the classic dark chocolate Baci in 3-piece tubes, sold by the box of 14, plus 12-piece boxes and Baci Dark Chocolate with Hazelnuts. For something different, try Perugina Baci Caramelized Almonds. Browse more in our chocolate candy shop.
Come the holidays, the 8-piece Christmas Tree boxes make a charming gift or stocking stuffer, and they sit happily alongside our Christmas candy. Share a Baci, and share the note inside.
