Crastan Orzo Solubile

Crastan Orzo Solubile is a traditional Italian caffeine-free beverage made from 100% Italian barley. The brand was established in 1870 by Luzio Crastan, a Swiss entrepreneur who settled in Pontedera, Tuscany. His goal was to provide a high-quality, affordable alternative to coffee during a period when coffee imports were heavily taxed and expensive.

Today, the product continues to be manufactured in Tuscany, specifically at the Crastan S.p.A. facilities in Pontedera (Pisa). The company maintains a close relationship with Italian agriculture, sourcing barley exclusively from domestic fields to ensure a traceable and authentic 'Made in Italy' profile. For over 150 years, the company has remained under the management of the Crastan family, evolving into a leading producer of soluble coffee substitutes while preserving its heritage as a family-owned Italian enterprise.
