When Domingo Ghirardelli, the adventurous son of a celebrated Italian confectioner, set up shop in San Francisco during the gold rush, he created some of the finest chocolate Americans had ever tasted. Today, after over 150 years of passionate chocolate making, that same spirit has inspired what are arguably the world's best premium baking mixes. They're everything a baked treat should be. And then some. Ghirardelli Baking Mixes. For people who really, really love chocolate. From people who really, really know chocolate -- Ghirardelli.
