Baci di Dama are delicious biscuits originating in Piedmont, specifically in the city of Tortona where they were first made a century ago. The name means “lady’s kisses” because they look like two lips holding together a chocolate kiss.
THE CHEF’ SUGGESTION
Baci di Dama are really tasty also with white chocolate or Nutella!
