THE CHOCOLATIER THAT CREATED THE ITALIAN CHOCOLATE KISS

A traditionally Italian chocolatier founded in the 1900s in the city of Peruglia, Italy, Perugina was borne from a love of tradition and fine Italian chocolate. Founded by Luisa Spagnoli and her husband, it was Luisa’s innovation and creativity that eventually created Baci Perugina or the Italian Chocolate Kiss.

With Baci meaning kiss in English, it has become a symbol of love and affection since its creation in the 1930s. A lover’s kiss of whole roasted hazelnuts coated in fine chocolate. A timeless gift of love that is now being enjoyed by partners and lovers in over 50 countries.
