Our artisanal pastry shop also makes a great Piedmontese classic: baci di dama.
We select the best raw materials and every single sweet contains a perfect combination of hazelnut flour, the tastiest, and a thin and delicious layer of dark chocolate.
The dedication to our pastry art translates into these small and delicious biscuits typical of Piedmontese cuisine which in turn represent a story of tradition and love.
Baci di Dama, the result of strictly artisanal processing, are small desserts made up of two round biscuits that dark chocolate unites in a tender embrace. For this reason they are considered the most romantic pastry in the world!
These delicious hazelnut and chocolate flavored biscuits were created more than a century ago and since then they have kept the original recipe with the same ingredients and the same hug shape.
Baci di Dama, an Italian love story
Baci di Dama are tender biscuits whose recipe dates back to the 19th century, in Piedmont.
Among the legends on the origin of these sweets, the most romantic tells that it was King Vittorio Emanuele II who asked the chefs of the Savoy house for a new sweet to offer as a gift to a beautiful lady.
The result was a small biscuit with a very crumbly dough and an original shape: two lips intent on smacking a sweet kiss.
We don’t know if Vittorio Emanuele II managed to conquer that fascinating girl but it is certain that these little sweets have conquered the palates of many, so much so that, even today, they are a classic of Italian pastry making, the undisputed protagonist of what is known as tea and more…

Baci di Dama with Chieregato hazelnuts, a tasty treat
Our pastry shop deals not only with the artisanal production of these renowned biscuits but also with the packaging of our Baci di Dama with hazelnuts and chocolate which are individually wrapped in gold paper and packaged in transparent bags of different weights.
The care of manual packaging adds value to this excellent artisanal production.
In other words, the love and attention for this small and sweet biscuit is also evident in the care of the presentation.
Giving a small bag of Baci di Dama as a gift is a gesture of love.
These are perfect sweets to enjoy in the company of an excellent tea or coffee; they are a precious and sweet thought to give or to place inside a Christmas hamper to enrich it with taste and tradition.
At any time of the day, from breakfast to an after-dinner treat, the softness of the chocolate enclosed by the crumbliness of the biscuit represents a true goodness that recalls the history of Piedmontese pastry making and enriches that moment of pause in a tasty and special moment.
