Baci Perugina chocolate

Baci Perugina is one of the most iconic Italian chocolate brands, best known for its chocolate-covered hazelnuts wrapped in a distinctive 'love note.' The brand was originally created in 1922 by Luisa Spagnoli in Perugia, Italy. The name 'Baci' translates to 'kisses' in Italian, reflective of the romantic and gifting nature of the product.

While the brand maintains its strong Italian heritage and continues to be manufactured at the San Sisto factory in Perugia, its ownership has transitioned into the global corporate sphere. Since 1988, Perugina and the Baci brand have been part of the Nestlé S.A. portfolio. This acquisition allowed the brand to expand its reach globally, making it a staple of Italian culture in international markets.
