Did you know that Parmesan is a traditional Italian hard cheese now produced in many parts of the world, although in Europe, it is protected, which means that only cheeses made in a certain way, in certain areas of Italy are allowed to carry the Parmesan lable?

Coffee Beans

Great beans make great coffee, it's as simple as that. But to make great coffee it takes great skill to blend and roast the beans properly.

Italian coffees comes from the Arabica variety of bean, famous for its full flavor and low caffeine content. However depending upon the region and particular tastes, the stronger and caffeine rich Robusta beans are carefully blended with Arabica beans.
The blends of the Southern regions tend to have more Robusta content in their blends which makes stronger espresso..........

That's what we sell.
