Filicori Zecchini Espresso Arabica - Espresso Italiano

340g whole espresso beans

Blend ratio: 100% Arabica beans

To celebrate over 100 years of roasting, Filicori Zecchini has outdone itself with this anniversary blend. Filicori Zecchini's 100% Arabica is the roastery's first pure Arabica blend. The 100 not only stands for the blend ratio of 100% Arabica, but also for the 100-year anniversary.

The coffee roasting company was founded in 1919 in Bologna by two friends, Aldo Filicori and Luigi Zecchini. Today, the company is still owned by the families and is already being run by the third generation. And to this day, Filicori has remained true to its long tradition. Only first-class beans are refined according to the traditional, typically Italian roasting method. This means that the beans are roasted separately, gently and slowly in the rotary drum and then left to cool in the air. It simply doesn't get any better than this.

What makes the 100% Arabica so special?

The Signature Blend embodies the art of creating a refined blend that perfectly combines the best characteristics of 3 Single Origins (Brazil, Guatemala and Mexico)

What is a Single Origin coffee?

A Single Origin is a coffee variety that comes from a specific geographical location, from which it usually takes its name. Each Single Origin has unique organoleptic characteristics related to the particular characteristics of the soil and climate. These different characteristics are combined in a sophisticated blending process. This is the art that makes a blend so incredibly complex and balanced. The flavours and nuances complement each other, bringing out the best notes and engaging all the palate's taste buds in harmony. For a coffee connoisseur, single origin is the equivalent of the terroir of a grape that a wine connoisseur appreciates.

Guatemala is a Single Origin of the Bourbon variety, grown in the Fraijanes - Santa Rosa region at an altitude of 1200-1600m. It is a washed and sun-dried coffee with a light fruity note, strong flavour and good body. An aftertaste of cocoa and tobacco makes it very pleasant on the palate.

Brazil is known around the world as one of the most distinguished and committed coffee-growing countries. This Arabica coffee comes from one of the world's most famous Arabica bean growing regions - Santos, Brazil. The natural, sun-dried production process makes it extremely round and balanced. The taste is long-lasting and delicate with a strong note of bitter almonds.

Chiapas Single Origin beans come from the state of Chiapas in southeastern Mexico - one of the most biodiverse regions in the world. High mountains offer the best growing conditions for first-class green coffee. Light notes of cocoa and a subtle aroma of fresh tobacco make this bean so distinctive. Notes of cane sugar and cinnamon are on the palate in the finish.

Filicori Zecchini has changed the packaging to aluminium-free. Due to the non-existent multiple coating or composite material, the bags can be 100% recycled.

Thanks to its outstanding quality, Filicori Zecchini 100% Arabica has been certified as Espresso Italiano by the INEI (Istituto Nazionale Espresso Italiano).
