Who We Are A little about us

Carraro_rosso-1

Pristine lands, select plantations, slow roasting and 90 years of experience come together in the exceptional flavour of Carraro coffee. For us, coffee means both tradition and innovation.

Our company has been on a quest for quality since 1927. We combine the culture and taste of great master roasters with cutting-edge production technology. The resulting coffee is an absolute delight to savour, with an aroma that gets more and more refined with every harvest, year after year.

Our production system may be state-of-the-art, but the roasting techniques are strictly traditional. We have always favoured slow cycles because there is no better way to get the sugars to caramelize and the aroma to form, thus obtaining the maximum flavour from the beans for all types of coffee.

Roasting is followed by the art of blending. We always follow the recipes
drawn up by our Master Tasters, which are fine-tuned by monitoring and tasting on a daily basis. Only a fusion of the finest Arabica and Robusta beans can produce our unique aromas.

The quality is in the details. A coffee is sour if the brewing temperature was low, or if the cherry over-ripened before harvesting. We love coffee and we're invested every step of the way.
