Caffe Vergnano: Passion for coffee since 1882

An Italian family business has been bringing us the coffee we deserved for 150 years.

We are used to meeting Italian espresso companies whose title is simply a family name, as we are accustomed to the fact that several small and large brands of espresso remain, in spite of the times, family businesses. But when such a company is 150 years old, that really means something.

Caffe Vergnano is one of the largest and most recognizable Italian coffee companies, with a remarkable duration in time and blends that remain unforgettable for anyone who tries them. A look at the history of Vergnano hides in it the history of Italian coffee, while every sip of an espresso Vergnano is the essence of the richest coffee culture in the world.

 

Passion for coffee since 1882

With a history of almost 150 years, Caffe Vergnano can be proud to be, if not the oldest, certainly one of Italy's oldest coffee companies. Despite the changes that have taken place in its one and a half century life, Vergnano continues to be a family business, for the fifth consecutive generation, and always looks ahead, focusing on quality, innovation and creativity.



The story of Caffe Vergnano begins in a small grocery store in Chiery, a small town near Turin. The first owner and inspirer of the company is none other than the great-grandfather of its current owner, Domenico Vergnano. The demon Domenico quickly learns the secrets of roasting and mixing, and quickly the first, small Vergnano store proves to be inadequate for the company's activity. The company is constantly evolving, opening stores and warehouses in larger cities such as Turin and Alba. The intersection, which determines the course of Caffe Vergnano, will come in 1930, when the company acquired its first privately owned coffee farm in Kenya.



Today, Caffe Vergnano ranks sixth in Italy's highly demanding and competitive retail market, has a significant presence in more than 20 countries and maintains more than 70 "Vergnano Coffee Shops" around the world, which are of course ambassadors of authentic Italian espresso! The Vergnano factory covers 13500 square meters and combines Italian tradition and deep knowledge in areas such as blending and roasting, with the latest technology.

 

What's so special about caffe Vergnano Espresso blends?

In order to maintain the quality thanks to which coffee lovers trust it for a century and a half, Vergnano meticulously controls all stages of production, from choosing the best raw material to roasting and mixing.

Green coffee comes from nine different countries, from farms and producers with whom Vergnano has developed relationships of trust so that it can be confident in their quality. The roasting of each variety is done separately, depending on its special characteristics, in order to ensure that the temperature and duration of cooking will highlight its organoleptic characteristics in the best possible way. Baking is slow and careful, based on the secrets of the Italian tradition, in order for the aroma and taste of each variety to unfold as much as possible. It is a time consuming and demanding process that requires experienced roasters, but Vergnano never discounts in this area.

When the roasted grains have cooled, it's time to mix. Different varieties are mixed by experienced blenders in different proportions, in order to produce Vergnano's favorite espresso blends, such as the classic Antica Bottega, or the most powerful and robust Gran Aroma.
