Plus Hand-made Baci Demonstrations with Culinary Icon: Viola Buitoni ! Visit Perugina at Booth #2711 at the Fancy Food Show January 19 – 21 San Francisco ! ! Edison, NJ (January 2014) —Perugina, the legendary Italian chocolatier known world-wide for its iconic Baci line, debuts its Double Layer Baci Perugina candy bar at the 2014 Fancy Food Show to be held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco from January 19- 21. Inspired by Perugina’s signature Baci confection, the new bar combines Perugina’s legendary Luisa Dark chocolate, made of 51% cacao, with a layer of gianduia (luscious milk chocolate, whipped and blended with ground hazelnuts) that is chock full of hazelnuts. Just like the original Baci (the Italian word for “kisses”), which include a love message inside each wrapper, Perugina’s new Baci candy bar includes a special !love note as an integral part of the packaging. A premium creation that engages the senses with a combination of flavors, the Baci Perugina Double Layer candy bar also combines a variety of textures: the crispy, snap of Luisa Dark, the creaminess of gianduia and the crunch of toasted hazelnuts. Each ingredient contributes to a truly indulgent chocolate experience. The bar weighs 5.2 ounces (150 grams) and is scored for easy breaking into eighteen !individual serving pieces. Also on-site at Perugina Booth #2711, will be Viola Buitoni, a direct descendant of the famed pasta and chocolate family.
