The name Costadoro Caffè stands for the highest quality.
Full-bodied, slightly tangy, elegant and an excellent crema.
This coffee is the most traditional blend from Torrefazione Costadoro from Turin. Because this blend of 90% best Arabica and 10% Robusta had been the only or at least the main brand for many years it was simply named after the company – Caffè Costadoro. Giorgio Langella is the heart and soul of the company, always aiming for optimum quality and a roaster with a heart and passion for coffee. He explains very emotionally not to make any compromises or concessions when buying raw coffee.
Torrefazione Costadoro uses a 90/10 blend of the best high-grown coffees from Central and South America. Aiming to marry optimum features of each coffee into a perfect blend each of them is being slowly and separately roasted in small batches at constant temperatures in a rotating drum. This way each coffee contributes to an optimum result, one to the richness and harmony of aromatic ingredients, the other to balancing acidity, fruity overtones, body, volume or lasting fragrance and presence. After roasting and cooling the coffees are mixed into a perfect blend.
This procedure is much more elaborate than many conventional coffees; however, we gain much inspiration from having Caffè Costadoro as a result. It is a truly extraordinary roast. The 10% Robusta beans give the blend a pleasant tangy flavour as well as a nicely thick crema. |
