illy, Classico coffee beans 250 g
100% Arabica, normal roasted illy coffee beans in a metal box. The world-famous illy blend, founded by a Hungarian, Ferenc Illy, in 1933 in Triest, is made from 9 noble Arabicas from 3 continents. This normal roasted classic blend gives you the most balanced, harmonious taste that most coffee lovers are looking for: floral, fruity aroma with chocolate and toast bread notes, and with a long-lasting sweet aftertaste. The greatest talent of illy lies in the fact that it is able to create the same blend with premium constant quality from ever-changing coffee crops. Other coffee companies produce blends of varying quality under their brand names, but illy produces only one blend that is available in normal and stronger roasts. It is much easier to sell quality fluctuations if you produce different blends. However, the illy blend is always the same; they do not have the chance nor the intention to sell better and worse coffee under their logo. Illy offers the best of its knowledge. Illy does not use less valuable, cheaper Robusta beans in its blend, because, according to scientific research and organoleptic tests, Robusta has no aroma value; the woody, musty, flat taste in a lot of coffees is due to Robusta. After roasting, the coffee is packed under pressure, with the exclusion of air and with the addition of nitrogen (pressurisation). This method is the patent of illy and the world’s most advanced coffee packaging technique. This way, the aroma and freshness of the coffee at the time of roasting are preserved, which is guaranteed by illy for 2 years. Illy coffee is sustainable and creates value for everyone, from the farmers to our cups. Illy does not buy coffee from the coffee stock exchange but directly from producers and does not compromise on quality. Illy was the first in the world to receive the ‘Responsible Supply Chain Process’ certificate from DNV. Having participated in a number of foreign tests, it was selected best coffee on the HVG’s 2011 December coffee beans blind test. 1 carton: 12 pcs
