Our two blends of coffee: the smoother Milano and richer Napoli, are exclusively roasted for us by a family-run roaster in Piacenza in the heart of Emilia Romagna. The Milano - is a blend of Arabica beans mainly from South America. The Napoli - has a hint of top-quality Robusta beans added to the blend for an extra ‘kick’ reflecting the difference in coffee styles between the North and South of Italy.
