Baiocchi

Baiocchi di Mulino Bianco — Italy's most beloved chocolate-and-hazelnut sandwich biscuit, produced by Barilla's Mulino Bianco brand since 1985 and representing the flavour memory of childhood for millions of Italian households.

What Makes Baiocchi Iconic

• Double Hazelnut-Chocolate Filling — The creamy gianduja-style filling uses both Italian hazelnuts and milk chocolate; the ratio is the result of decades of recipe refinement to achieve a filling that melts without being greasy and carries genuine hazelnut character alongside the chocolate sweetness.
• Crisp Cocoa Biscuit Shell — The dark cocoa biscuit provides a snap and slight bitterness that contrasts the sweet filling; the biscuit-to-filling ratio is precisely calibrated — neither is overwhelming.
• Italian Hazelnuts — The hazelnut component uses Italian (primarily Piemontese) hazelnuts, which carry the IGP classification for the Tonda Gentile variety; the finest confectionery hazelnuts in the world, used by Ferrero and other premium producers.
• Mulino Bianco — The Mill Brand — Mulino Bianco ("White Mill") was created by Barilla in 1975 as an answer to Italian parents' demand for natural, wholesome biscuits; the brand's identity is built around traditional milling, natural ingredients, and the warmth of Italian home baking.
