Favuzzi Italian Stallion coffee is a full-bodied coffee with aromatic notes of caramel, dark chocolate and brown sugar. This coffee is a blend of beans from Guatemala (1/3) and Colombia (2/3). Guatemalan beans bring a caramelized taste and a light acidity that gives a nice length in the mouth. Colombian Supremo type (high quality) beans stand out for their power and their smoke and fruit taste. The Italian Stallion espresso is the strongest of the Favuzzi family, making it a perfect blend for a Neapolitan coffee. Its long roasting process brings out the oil in the beans and releases all its aromatic notes. With the right grind, it also lends itself very well to drip coffee. Full-bodied roast: 21 minutes.

For generations, the Favuzzi family has lived according to the rhythm of the harvests near the Adriatic coast, in Italy. Michel Favuzzi, our founder, discovered the family’s olive growing tradition through his uncle Damiano during a trip to Europe. Numerous travels and memorable meetings with exceptional artisans from various Mediterranean regions continue to reaffirm the company’s mission, which is to offer products that put taste, authenticity and quality to the forefront.  Today, Favuzzi counts three warehouses (in Montreal, Toronto and Calgary) and distributes dozens of exclusive brands to enhance the food offering everywhere in Canada, with thousands of retailing partners both big and small.

This type of Italian-style roasting is characterized by a longer roasting time of 18 to 20 minutes at low temperatures (190°C to 230°C [375°F to 445°F]). Slow roasting allows the beans to be roasted more evenly from the surface to the centre, like a good loaf of bread that is baked slowly to help dissipate the heat.

Although slow roasting is not the most productive or cost-effective way to roast coffee, it provides several benefits in terms of taste: chocolate and nutty aromas, a comforting taste and a long finish in the mouth.
