A Baci Perugina Dark Chocolate Easter Egg contains a hollow dark chocolate shell made from Luisa dark chocolate and two traditional Baci chocolates. Each hidden praline features a whole toasted hazelnut and a creamy gianduia center. This Italian holiday gift is manufactured at the San Sisto plant in Perugia, Italy.
You know the difference the moment you break the seal on that silver and blue foil. The smell of deep, bittersweet cocoa and roasted hazelnuts fills the air, it is the exact sensory gap between a generic grocery store brand and the real thing we ship from New York. This isn't just candy; it’s a direct link to the San Sisto factory in Perugia, where they’ve been mastering this recipe for over a century.
The shell has the specific, crisp snap of high-quality dark chocolate, designed to crack cleanly for sharing at the table. It is smooth and substantial, coating a wooden spoon or your palate with a rich finish that isn't waxy. Inside, you find the real prize: two Baci pralines. You get that crunch from the whole toasted hazelnut followed by the soft, velvet-like chocolate filling. It is the bridge to the memory of your grandmother’s kitchen, regardless of where you live now.
To keep the chocolate from blooming, store the egg in a cool, dry spot, far from the heat of the stove or direct sunlight. If you are simmering a Sunday sauce, keep this in a separate room to preserve that glossy Luisa dark chocolate finish. When it is time for the holiday meal, set it in the center of the table and let the family share in a piece of authentic Italian tradition.
Yes. Both the dark chocolate shell and the internal Baci candies contain real, toasted hazelnuts and caramelized hazelnut pieces.
This egg is produced at the Nestlé Perugina factory in the San Sisto district of Perugia, Italy.
