Chocolate in Perugia

You can buy Perugina chocolates anywhere in Italy, but when we're in Perugia, we should check out the Cioccolateria Augusta Perusia on Via Pinturicchio, near the University for Foreigners. It's owned by an ex-Perugina employee who is passionate about chocolate, and focusses on reproducing authentic Perugina recipes. I say authentic because Perugina is now owned by Nestle' and the difference shows. Try tasting the "original" Bacio at this shop and compare it with the Perugina product.

If we want to tour the Perugina Factory, we need to call and book it, maybe we can decide when we are there.
