Baci Perugina Dark Chocolate Espresso bar, 3 Ounce (Pack of 12)

Absolutely delicious

I don’t know what’s with my local stores, but every time I find a chocolate that’s pure and delicious, they quit carrying it. I’m sorry, but I’m a wimp and I love nothing better than rich, creamy, flavor-laden, decadent milk chocolate. I don’t want bitter chocolate; I don’t want low-fat. I want to savor the sweet chocolate flavor as it melts in my mouth. (And if it melts on my hands, that actually proves it’s not a cheap American chocolate trying to fool my mouth into thinking it’s good with chemicals and all that.)Perugina is my favorite milk chocolate in the universe, followed by fond memories of Leonida's (the ones in Belgium), and then by those incredible Easter eggs that Costco carries now and then. Milk chocolate is an art that I don’t think we American quite get yet. (I’m looking at you, Hershey, my fallback of non-choice and saboteur of flavor.)Very pleased to find this chocolate online, to say the least. Now to find where to hide it.Let Amazon donate to your favorite charity!

This is my favorite chocolate. It is the best in my opinion. It is made in Italy and Italians take such good care with chocolate as well as any food made by Italians. In the summer keep a box of a dozen in the refrigerator at a low level and take one bar out and leave on a counter. It is best at room temperature but if you leave an entire box out in the heat the chocolate will change color and result is a small change in the chocolate. In the winter leave the box in a dark place and take one bar out a time.Perugina chocolate will not disappoint you.

I adore Limoncello chocolate, and the product itself gets 5 stars, but this shipment should get zero stars because of the poor condition in which it arrived. It was all dried up and had a white coating, and it did not have the lemon taste of Limoncello chocolate, it just tasted of cardboard.However, I also ordered the Orange version of this chocolate, and it was in excellent condition and tasted out of this world. I can't live without Limoncello chocolate, so I guess I'll have to order just a 4-pack instead of the 12-pack, so that if it arrives in bad condition I will have thrown less money down the drain.

Good quality

Perugina Extra Bittersweet 85% is the best dark chocolate we have found. It's normally really wonderful add It would absolutely deserve 5 stars if it were not for a significant recent problem.This order, which included 2 cases of this chocolate, was defective. Many bars were completely covered in a light yellow-brown coating which is disgusting. One of them was largely disintegrated. I read reviews on other vendors of the same product having the same bad experience. Even the bars that look OK taste quite weird, almost if it they were burned and dried out. I can only assume that a large volume, such as a whole container, of this product got way too warm for an extended time and was ruined.I hope this product is still being made well and that sooner or later we will get shipments that have not been damaged. But it is hard to tell based on this experience when it will be safe to order it again.

Oh my goodness this chocolate is amazing! I became addicted when I randomly grabbed a bar at my local Walmart November 2023. Slowly it is disappeared from local shelves and I have been so incredibly sad. I was so happy to find a box to purchase on Amazon. I am trying to ration the bars for myself in case they disappear from here as well.
