Baci di Romeo

Baci di Romeo, or "Romeo's Kisses," are traditional Veronese cookies that complement Baci di Giulietta cookies. Named after Shakespeare's Romeo, these cookies consist of two halves made with a blend of hazelnuts, almonds, egg whites, sugar, and cocoa, sandwiched with white chocolate, creating a contrasting yet harmonious counterpart to the "white" Juliet's Kisses that have a dark chocolate filling. They are a popular delicacy in Verona, found in many pastry shops. They are cherished for their delicious taste and romantic symbolism, making them a delightful treat for both locals and tourists.
