The story of Crealto
The Long Roasting
Crealto is inspired by a culinary technic. In Gastronomy, slow roasting is used to extract aromas and obtain a mellow result.
01
The revelation of flavors
Finally, long roasting reveals a coffee with roasted notes that are surprisingly round, with no acidity and a nice bitterness, a lingering aftertaste and a full-bodied intensity.
02
The selection of origins
Only a specific selection of the
best arabicas made
long roasting possible.
Crealto's unique blend has been carefully designed with coffee beans that grow in areas with specific soil and weather conditions. This allow coffee beans to modify their intrinsical composition and absorbe more elements, avoiding them to develop over roasted notes in the process.
03
The mastering of roasting
The long roasting is a process that requires extreme rigor. By roasting three times longer than the average Nespresso roasting time and at a lower temperature, the heath is diffused right to the heart of each grain.
