A stylish gold-handled gift purse; share your good taste while avoiding the task of gift-wrapping.

Since 1858, the Baratti & Milano pasticceria, alongside Torino's impressive Piazza Castello, has crafted outstanding confections and chocolates. Predating even the unification of Italy, Baratti's wares have played a starring role in establishing Torino as Italy's capital of Sweets.

The Piemontese adore their hazelnuts, and, in particular, it is the sweet-smoky tonda gentile varietal that has won their affection. Bestowed the coveted I.G.P. stamp of authenticity and quality, for Baratti's beloved Cremini, tonda gentileare ground into a creamy paste and layered over fine milk chocolate.

Presented in an elegant, gold-handled, navy blue gift purse, the Cremini make an excellent stocking-stuffer or hostess gift.
