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.
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.
