La Brasiliana Caffè selects beans from plantations in Brazil, Vietnam, Colombia and India, choosing Arabica and Robusta varieties according to criteria of quality and sustainability. Commitment to practices that respect the environment and local communities guides every sourcing choice.
Roasting is the crucial moment in transforming green beans into coffee ready for use. This artisan process, refined over more than seventy years of experience, determines the aromatic profile and balance of the blends.
The roastery opens its doors for guided visits that allow visitors to observe the stages of production directly. Guided tastings complete the experience, giving visitors the chance to understand the characteristics of each blend.
The company Academy trains professionals in the Ho.Re.Ca. sector, passing on technical skills in espresso preparation and equipment management. The technical support service, with locations in Ferrara and Fano, guarantees specialised maintenance for coffee machines, grinders and dishwashers.
