This is to my sister.... Do you know that? A love story just a week before Valentine's Day
On Valentine’s Day in 1922, an icon was born in that Italian workshop…Perugina Baci (the Italian word for kisses)! Co-founder, Luisa Spagnoli decided to utilize the abundance of leftover chopped hazelnuts by combining them with gianduia (luscious milk chocolate, whipped and blended with hazelnut paste), then topping them with one whole perfectly roasted hazelnut, and coating the entire confection in silky dark chocolate. The result was brilliantly delectable and put Perugina on all the lips of candy lovers and chocolate devotees. According to legend, Luisa would secretly wrap a love note around each Bacio she created for her sweetheart. Today, each Bacio is still hugged by a special message of love, written in five languages and tucked inside its silver and blue foil wrapper.
