Lavazza Italian Gourmet Coffee

September 23, 2010

For the past century Lavazza has been a leader in the world of espresso coffee. During the early 1900’s  Luigi Lavazza invented the idea of blending and mixing coffee beans of various origins and roasts to develop the delicious espresso coffee blends we all enjoy today.

The quality of Lavazza Italian gourmet coffee is developed through strict quality control including the correct roasting, selection of the right blends of coffees as well as superior packaging to maintain freshness.

Due to the variable nature of coffee crops from year to year, it is imperative to maintain strict standards of quality control and dedication that our consumers enjoy consistency with every container of Lavazza Italian Gourmet Coffee.
