Lavazza Crema e Aroma beans: an Arabica-Robusta blend at intensity 8/10, medium roast, with long-lasting crema and chocolate notes for milk drinks.
Lavazza Crema e Aroma is a premium blend of carefully selected Arabica and Robusta beans, made by Luigi Lavazza S.p.A. in Turin. Lavazza describes it as a creamy, aromatic coffee with chocolate notes and a long-lasting creaminess, and calls it ideal for milk recipes. The beans come from Africa, Asia and South America and are given a medium roast; Lavazza rates the intensity at 8 out of 10 and recommends it for espresso and moka, as well as filter. In general, Robusta in an espresso blend adds body and helps build a thick, persistent crema, while Arabica brings aroma, which is why blends like this hold their character under steamed milk. For cafés, that makes it a natural house bean for cappuccino, flat white and latte. Coffee beans keep best in an airtight container away from light, heat and moisture; grinding just before brewing preserves the aroma.
