It began life as an artisan pasticceria in 1918, through the passion and commitment of two confectioners: Mr Agostino Atti and Mr. In the atmosphere of Bologna, famous for good cuisine, Attibassi products grew and attracted the attention of refined palates. Today, as then, with the added refinement of modern techniques, the company continues to express the “artisan” passion for its traditional Ita
lian products. Coffee has a fascinating history bringing with it the magic of distant lands and cultures. The beans of these precious plants reached Europe thanks to explorer, adventurers and traders who followed the routes of the ships. We are above all indebted to them for that intense pleasure we feel every time we enjoy a good coffee or savour the deliciousness of chocolate. Attibassi guarantees this pleasure for every product through the selection of the best raw materials and the use of working methods based on a simple but effective formula: a perfect balance between human experience and the use of modern industrial processes. Espresso today most successfully represents Italy abroad but, unfortunately, too often the name is used to describe products that do not respect tradition and do not meet the standards expected by the consumer. A good blend is the result of a knowledgeable combination of Arabica and Robusta varieties: the first gives flavour and smell, while the latter gives density and "body". The roasting process then brings out the natural characteristics of each variety. Even the grinding method plays an important role in the preparation of a perfect cup of coffee, whether made in a bar or at home. The machine used and the skill of the bar staff complete the "magic formula" needed for an excellent espresso. A harmonious coffee, with a flavour that is intense, full, and balanced, a coffee that is thick and creamy, the colour of hazelnuts, and in which the sugar sinks slowly: that’s what Attibassi Espresso Italiano blends offer to coffee lovers. Attibassi blends are characterized by exclusive compositions, and specific roasting processes electronically controlled in every phase, which enhances the natural properties of the beans used. However, it is our “passion” for coffee which explains the unique properties of Attibassi blends: exceptional “consistency” in achieving the perfect blend is the result of years of ongoing attention to composition and stringent quality control procedures.
