Perugina 85% Extra Dark Chocolate bar

Perugina is an iconic Italian chocolate brand founded in 1907 in Perugia by Luisa Spagnoli, Annibale Spagnoli, Francesco Buitoni, and Leone Ascoli. Originally starting as a small confectionery workshop, it grew into a national symbol of Italian excellence, famously known for creating the 'Baci' chocolate in 1922. The brand has a rich history of craftsmanship and innovation in the heart of Umbria.

Today, Perugina is primarily manufactured in its historic production site in San Sisto, Perugia, Italy. The facility serves as a global hub for the brand's production, ensuring that the traditional Italian quality is maintained. Since its acquisition in 1988, Perugina has been a key part of the Nestlé portfolio, with the Swiss multinational investing significantly to transform it into a global ambassador for Italian chocolate-making.

The ultimate owner of Perugina is Nestlé S.A., headquartered in Switzerland. Under Nestlé's ownership, the brand is managed locally by Nestlé Italiana S.p.A. The company continues to produce a wide range of products including the Nero dark chocolate line and the world-renowned Baci pralines, exporting these Italian-made treats to over 50 countries worldwide.
