Torrefazione Italia
Torrefazione Italia[edit | edit source]
Torrefazione Italia is a renowned coffee roasting company that originated in Seattle, Washington. The company was established in 1986 and has since been recognized for its traditional Italian-style coffee roasting techniques.
History[edit | edit source]
Torrefazione Italia was founded by Domenico "Dino" DeFranco, an Italian immigrant who wanted to bring the authentic taste of Italian coffee to the United States. The company started as a small coffee shop in Seattle's Pioneer Square neighborhood and quickly gained popularity for its unique roasting style and high-quality beans.
Coffee Roasting Process[edit | edit source]
The coffee roasting process at Torrefazione Italia is a meticulous one, following traditional Italian methods. The company sources its beans from various regions around the world, including South America, Africa, and Asia. The beans are then roasted in small batches to ensure the highest quality and flavor.
Expansion and Acquisition[edit | edit source]
In 1994, Starbucks acquired Torrefazione Italia, expanding its reach and introducing the brand to a wider audience. Despite the acquisition, Torrefazione Italia maintained its unique identity and continued to operate under its original name.
Closure and Revival[edit | edit source]
In 2005, Starbucks decided to close all standalone Torrefazione Italia stores. However, the brand was revived in 2013 by Seattle-based company, Caffè Umbria. Today, Torrefazione Italia coffee can be found in various grocery stores and cafes across the United States.
Products[edit | edit source]
Torrefazione Italia offers a variety of coffee products, including whole bean coffee, ground coffee, and espresso pods. The company is particularly known for its espresso blends, which are characterized by their rich flavor and smooth finish.
