Classico Medium Roast Ground Espresso Coffee - 8.8 Ounce - 100% Arabica - Caramel, Orange Blossom & Jasmine Notes

Since 1933, illy has been driven by the dream of offering the world the best coffee. Over the years, the company has perfected the process of obtaining a coffee with a rich aromatic profile, balanced flavor, and a one-of-a-kind aroma.

illy selects only the finest Arabica coffee plants, grown sustainably by farmers in over 30 countries around the world. The company cultivates long-lasting relationships with these growers, based on shared values and personal growth, as it believes that exceptional results can only be achieved through collaborative efforts.

Out of the Arabica coffee beans harvested, illy selects only the top 1%, thanks to its many years of collaboration with growers who place the utmost importance on quality and sustainability. Researching and experimenting with raw materials is an ongoing journey for illy, as it strives for perfection.

After processing, the beans undergo a meticulous selection to ensure zero defects. Even a single imperfect Arabica coffee bean can compromise the aroma of the blend. To preserve and enhance the aromas, illy utilizes its patented pressurized cans, a preservation system developed in 1934 that replaces the air in the tin with an inert gas at a pressure greater than that of the atmosphere. This not only maintains the freshness of the coffee but also enhances its aroma.

Through this rigorous process, illy is able to source the finest Arabica beans from around the world, establish lasting relationships with growers, and nurture a virtuous circle that generates well-being for consumers and socio-economic development for producers. The result is illy's signature blend of fine Arabica ground coffee, featuring a mild and balanced taste with notes of caramel, orange blossom, and jasmine.

Illy's commitment to sustainability is a core part of its vision. The company is proud to be part of a global movement with a common goal: to pave the way for a better, more liveable and more enlightened world. By bringing the taste of Italy to coffee lovers around the globe, illy seeks to evoke a classic Italian beverage experience in the comfort of one's own home, where the finest coffee can be freshly prepared and immediately enjoyed.
