Low-Acidity Espresso Tasting Set – Southern Italy
4 × 250 g whole beans
Four bold and characterful coffees from Southern Italy for those who love their espresso intense, dark-roasted and virtually free from perceptible acidity. Featuring Nurri 100% Napoletano, Quaranta Oro, Passaparola Risveglio and Caffè Cortese Napoletano, this set brings together four outstanding roasts that celebrate the authentic spirit of traditional Italian coffee bars, from Apulia to Naples.
Long, carefully controlled artisanal roasting and distinctive bean blends minimise sharp fruity acidity while bringing maximum body and richness to the forefront. Deep notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, hazelnut, malt and warm roasted aromas take centre stage, crowned by a spectacularly dense, hazelnut-brown crema.
Ideal for lovers of syrupy ristretto or espresso, these coffees also provide the perfect robust foundation for velvety cappuccino and latte macchiato – whether brewed with a portafilter espresso machine or a fully automatic coffee machine.
Nurri 100% Napoletano
Blend: 50% Arabica | 50% Robusta
A true Neapolitan espresso from the master roastery of Antonio Nurri. Dark-roasted, wonderfully intense and uncompromisingly low in acidity. Its balanced combination of hand-selected Arabica and premium Robusta beans delivers deep notes of dark chocolate and malt, complemented by a subtle caramel sweetness. Its dense, hazelnut-brown crema and full body create an authentic Southern Italian coffee bar experience.
Quaranta Oro
Blend: 70% Arabica | 30% Robusta
The flagship coffee of Quaranta Roastery in Brindisi, Apulia, embodies the perfect harmony of Southern Italian espresso. Full-bodied, velvety and exceptionally low in acidity, it features notes of bittersweet dark chocolate, hazelnut and warm roasted aromas, supported by a stable, hazelnut-brown crema. A well-balanced all-rounder that bridges the gap between intensity and velvety elegance.
Passaparola Risveglio
Blend: 70% Arabica | 30% Robusta
The name says it all: Risveglio means “awakening” and is the ideal espresso to start your day. Traditionally dark-roasted, this blend impresses with its velvety richness and remarkably firm crema. Warming notes of burnt caramel, toasted grains and dark cocoa unfold on the palate. A full-bodied, wonderfully low-acidity Italian bar-style coffee that holds its own beautifully in creamy milk-based drinks.
Caffè Cortese Napoletano
Blend: 20% Arabica | 80% Robusta
Neapolitan roasting tradition at its purest. With a generous 80% Robusta content, Cortese Napoletano delivers maximum intensity and an exceptionally rich, substantial texture. The blend captivates with bold aromas of unsweetened cocoa, nuts and robust spice, with virtually no fruity acidity.
A wonderfully straightforward espresso for those who prefer their coffee short, hot, rich and intense.
