The Unique Flavor of Italian Coffee
With a rich and intense flavor, real Italian coffee brings a tradition of excellence to every sip. Coffee first made its appearance in Europe during the 14th century when traders from the Silk Road introduced it to the wealthy aristocrats of Venice, and hundreds of years later it is a staple of Italian culture. Using 100 percent Arabica espresso beans from Central America and the African highlands, Italian coffee is the preferred choice for making classic espresso coffee drinks like cappuccinos, lattes, and macchiatos. The secret to its velvety smooth taste is a perfectly balanced combination of bitter and sweet flavors. Italian coffee culture has now found it's way to the United States. Ordering a cappuccino with whipped cream, iced coffee is as. easy as ever. However, at supermarketitaly, we offer everything you need to make caffè americano, caffè doppio, caffè lungo, caffè latte, and even Italian hot chocolate in the convenience of your own kitchen. Our products make it easy to make and drink coffee at home that tastes and feels like you do when you order a latte in italy at Italian bars or coffee shops.
