L'Italiano ground coffee

The experience and unique method of slow wood-fired roasting over direct flame enhance intense aromas, a smooth taste and a lingering aftertaste, offering an authentic sensory experience.

Hand-picked and processed using the “washed” method, our coffee is sun-dried and left to rest after roasting for a balanced, full aroma. Slowly roasted over selected wood, it develops up to 850 aromas, with intense and harmonious notes. A natural, eco-friendly roasting with a unique taste. Each type of wood imparts different notes; for example, oak brings deep, intense nuances. Moreover, burning wood is an eco-friendly process.

A complex process, but one that allows us to achieve a coffee with an intense, clean taste, rich in natural aromas. We roast the coffee for over 30 minutes over a live, direct flame, which develops the aromas through natural chemical reactions (pyrolysis and the Maillard reaction). The result is a full-bodied coffee with a clean, lingering aftertaste. The beans are rigorously selected, the fire is always lit in the same way, and the wood is chosen according to the desired roast. Each batch is tasted to verify its quality. Wood – the key element that provides natural warmth and unique aromatic profiles. After roasting, the beans are cooled in natural containers and must then rest. We focus on the quality of the raw material, meticulous attention to detail and respect for the environment, producing a coffee with an authentic, rich and harmonious taste.

A blend inspired by the Italian espresso tradition, obtained from prized coffee selections and processed with slow artisan wood-fired roasting, a rare method that naturally enhances aroma and body. The result is a coffee with a bold yet balanced character, with a classic, enveloping profile. The process is carried out by master roasters with air cooling.

Wood-fired roasting allows for more even cooking of the bean, developing complex aromas and reducing excessive acidity and bitterness
