Caffè Vergnano - A perfect blend of Tradition and Innovation
Italian products
Production
Caffè Vergnano follows the finest traditions, but at the same time is one of the most dynamic and avant-garde producers. The superior quality of the blends comes from the meticulous selection of the best raw materials available, and an extraordinary production process. The roasting is the most important step in coffee production, since the concentration of taste and flavour in the beans depends on the exact level of roasting. During this phase, Caffè Vergnano uses traditional methods to work the coffee even today.
The different coffee varieties are roasted separately, type by type, so that just the right level of roasting can be achieved. In contrast to the majority of modern large roasting factories, which function according to specific "turbo" industrial methods, in 5-6 minute cycles at a high temperature, Caffè Vergnano uses a "slow" roasting system, with cycles which last between 18 and 22 minutes. For each new cycle, the roasting of each batch is individually controlled, to guarantee a product with perfectly uniform quality, roasted for the correct amount of time.
Quality
Since 1999, the Casa del Caffè Vergnano has firmly adhered to the new World Environmental Policies, believing that improving of the quality of the environment goes hand in hand with improved quality of human life. The company decided to operate in accordance with the mandatory and voluntary regulations regarding protection of the environment and product safety. In order to fulfill this ambition, Caffè Vergnano allocated specific personnel as responsible for achieving the Environmental Quality and Food Safety objectives introduced by the voluntary international regulations UNI EN ISO 14001:2004, IFS (International Food Standard) and BRC (British Retail Consortium), allocating its own independent Quality Office for the management of these personnel.
