Traditional Italian Biscuits with an added touch of Rum

A wonderfully indulgent twist on Piemonte’s famous Baci di Dama. Two delicate cocoa and hazelnut biscuits are paired, or “kissed”, together with a rich dark chocolate filling, lifted by the warm, aromatic character of rum.

Handmade in a small bakery near Alba, these are a recipe unique to our producer, where a brother and sister continue the traditional methods and craftsmanship handed down by their father.

One of Piemonte's Favourite Sweets

Baci means "Kisses". Each biscuit is baked then cooled, piped with the chocolate and rum filling one side, then lovingly "kissed" together every single time by hand.

They are then gently placed, one by one, into the jar, which you can use again and again.

Baci originate from a Panoficio in the town of Tortona in the Northern Italian region of Piemonte. They were created in the 19th Century as a way to utilise hazelnuts that are local to the Piedmont region.

Piemonte

Piemonte (or Piedmont) is the second largest region of Italy, found in the north west of the country. Its largest city and the original capital of Italy is Turin, the bustling business and culture hub of northern Italy. Turin is filled with a mixture of 16th and 18th century renaissance, baroque and neo classical architecture. More up-to-date, it is also home to Juventus FC, one of Italy’s best football teams.

Moving away from the cities, Piedmont is known for its connection to the Alps. Almost half of the region is covered by mountains, making it one of Italy’s top skiing destinations. The geography of the region generates great agricultural farm land and it is best known for its grapes and wine production. Barolo and Barbaresco red wines are made from the Nebbiolo grape, and the sparkling Asti Spumante comes from the Moscato grape.

Besides wine, the region also produces a vast amount of Italian risotto rice. Arborio, Carnaroli and 11 other varieties of rice are grown in paddy fields, irrigated by river water.
