This is one of a few chocolates that I can handle on a regular basis due to allergies and it has become almost impossible to find locally. Perugina milk chocolate is very pure and has a wonderful mouth feel and low melting point. I think those who were not as happy with this chocolate received bars that contained Americanized ingredients, such as soy lecithin. I'm not sure where or when the recipe changed, but you want the ones with sunflower lecithin and natural vanilla flavor.
This Perugina milk chocolate is made in Italy and the ingredients are: sugar, milk, cocoa butter, chocolate, milk fat, sunflower lecithin, and natural vanilla flavor.

Perugina Chocolate Bars
The Perugina Chocolate Bar is an intense dark or milk bar with a slightly fruity taste and a smooth texture that melts in your mouth. Each bite surprises the palate and delights the senses.
The History and Tradition of Perugina
In the heart of Italy, lies the lush region of Umbria and the city of Perugia, where you will find Perugina, home of the Perugina Chocolate Masters and the famous factory, a symbol of quality chocolate and tradition for more than a century.
In 1907 in Perugia, Francesco Buitoni, Leone Ascoli, Francesco Andreani and Annibale Spagnoli started producing chocolate in a confetti factory that was destined to become an empire, The Società Perugina.
The process still follows the same recipe and preparation by which it was first made. The quality of the chocolate is ensured by the careful selection of cacao with close attention given to each step of its creation.
The proprietary recipe for the unique chocolate results in a flavor and texture that is both intense and velvety and is closely guarded by the masters of the Scuola del Cioccolato Perugina, the 'Perugina Chocolate School'.
For more than a century, Perugina has been uniting quality with curiosity, always discovering something new. The virtues set forth by Luisa Spagnoli and the original founders are followed from the selection of ingredients to the proprietary preparation resulting in a product of excellence.
Perugia is the heart of Italy and Perugina the heart of Italian chocolate.

They changed the formula.
There is an explanation for the wide divergence of reviews on this product.This used to be an outstanding chocolate, the best for the money out of all that I have had. But late last year the formula changed. Attaching side-by-side photos. The major difference is that they added "(processed with alkali)" - which is the telltale of mediocre-at-best chocolate.You can also see the difference in packaging, the previous good one had a vertical stripe, as still pictured on this product page. The actual delivered product has the solid background.One star for massive disappointment.
