illy Arabica Selection Brasile coffee

illy is a world-renowned Italian coffee brand specialized in premium espresso and coffee products. This specific product, the Arabica Selection Brasile (Cerrado Mineiro), features beans sourced from Brazil that are roasted and packaged in Italy. The brand is famous for its unique pressurized packaging system that preserves the aroma and freshness of the coffee.

Founded in 1933 by Francesco Illy in Trieste, Italy, the company remains a family-owned enterprise. While they source high-quality Arabica beans from diverse regions including South America, Africa, and Asia, the central production and roasting facility is located in Trieste, ensuring strict quality control from bean to tin. In recent years, while Rhone Capital acquired a minority stake in the business to fuel international growth, the Illy family maintains majority ownership and control of the global brand operations.
