The display cases are filled with an array of traditional Ligurian treats, but the centerpiece of today's tasting is the exquisite baci di dama. These delicate cookies, named "lady's kisses" for their small, dainty size and sweet embrace of flavors, are a highlight of the patisserie. Made with a blend of finely ground almonds and hazelnuts, each bite of baci di dama offers a delightful crunch that melts into a rich, buttery texture. The two halves of the cookie are gently sandwiched together with a layer of smooth, dark chocolate, creating a perfect harmony of nutty and chocolatey flavors.
