An Italian confection tradition, Perugina began in 1907 in the Umbrian hill town on Perugia. The young heir to Perugina, Giovanni Buitoni and confectioner Luisa Spagnoli created an exceptional collection of fine chocolates that have withstood the test of time. In 1922, Luisa created Perugina's signature chocolate, Baci or "kisses" in Italian. Legend has it that Luisa and Giovanni were secretly in love, and communicating their passion through love notes wrapped around confections. From this amore came Pergina's greatest traditon, creamy dark chocolate surrounding a rich hazelnut center that arrives wrapped in a love note scribed in four languages. A truly delicious and romantic chocolate confection.

Flavonoids, also found in wine are types of pigments that are water-soluble and created by plants of many varieties. There are thousands of different flavanoids. Plants use flavonoids in the process of photosynthesis.
How the human body actually uses and/or processes flavonoids is still not determined but they have been linked to good health in many areas - particularly blood circulation.
If you are a science buff, then you'll be interested to know that flavonoids are polyphenolic compounds containing 15 carbon atoms, two benzene rings joined by a linear three carbon chain. If you're just an average, everyday person with a sweet tooth, then you'll be interested to know that good things are contained in a single bite of dark chocolate. So please, put down the chemistry book and enjoy some today!
