Baci di Dama are the result of a careful and meticulous artisanal process, creating small sweets composed of two round cookies joined by a thin layer of dark chocolate. This embrace of flavors has made them famous as one of the most romantic pastries in the world. These exquisite cookies, combining the taste of hazelnuts and chocolate, have origins dating back over a century. Since then, their recipe has remained true to tradition, preserving both the authentic ingredients and the typical kiss shape. Originating in the 19th century, these tender cookies were born in Piemonte. One of the most fascinating stories about their creation tells that King Vittorio Emanuele II asked the cooks of the House of Savoy to devise a new dessert to offer to a lady. The response was a delicate and crumbly cookie, with a shape reminiscent of two lips ready to give a tender kiss. Although we do not know if the king managed to win over the lady, it is certain that Baci di Dama have seduced the palates of many, becoming a symbol of Italian pastry and a key element of tea tradition. Additionally, the product is packaged manually, which enhances its quality and allows for attention to detail at every stage of processing.
