illy Tostato Classico

Founded in 1933 by Francesco Illy in Trieste, Italy, illycaffè is a globally recognized premium coffee brand known for its 100% Arabica blend. The product shown, 'Tostato Classico', is a medium roast blend designed specifically for Moka stove-top preparation, characterized by notes of caramel and orange blossom.

The brand remains family-owned, under the control of the Illy family, maintaining its heritage and headquarters in Trieste. Manufacturing primarily takes place in their state-of-the-art facility in Trieste, where they utilize a unique pressurized packaging system to preserve freshness and aroma. While they have strategic partnerships for capsule production and distribution in certain regions, the core roasted coffee production remains centralized in Italy to ensure quality control.
