Do you long for a cup of coffee that will enchant you with its absolute purity, massive body and rich aromatic profile? The single-origin ground coffee from the prestigious illy Arabica Selection series comes from the renowned Brazilian region of Cerrado Mineiro in the state of Minas Gerais, which is recognized worldwide for its specific microclimate, fertile soil and ideal alternation of rainy and dry seasons. This exclusive, 100% barista gem from the iconic illy roastery in Trieste is made exclusively from the highest quality, hand-picked Arabica beans. They undergo a dedicated, tailor-made roasting profile that fully highlights the natural advantages of the Brazilian terroir - it rounds off any sharp fruity acidity and opens up space for intense, warm tones of cocoa and roasted nuts. The result is a syrupy, dense, velvety smooth drink with a full body and a long-lasting bittersweet aftertaste.

The compact 250g package in a luxurious metal can is the ideal choice for discerning coffee gourmets who love pure plantation coffees without compromise. The unique patented pressure packaging system (pressurization) in a protective atmosphere reliably locks all volatile aromatic substances and essential oils inside the can, guaranteeing absolute freshness and stable barista quality until the last cup.

☕ Flavor profile: Dark chocolate, soft caramel, roasted almonds and nutty crema

Illy Brasile Cerrado Mineiro stands out with a very harmonious, syrupy-creamy texture, a penetrating aroma with a captivating hint of fresh roasting and a wonderfully rounded palette of strong tones with minimal acidity:

• Dark dark chocolate: The main flavor axis enchants with intense, warm notes of fine cocoa and dark chocolate, which give the coffee a stable, elegant and highly balanced base.

• Intense caramel and sweetness: A pleasant, naturally sweet note is clearly evident in the body of the coffee, with an undertone of liquid caramel and cane sugar in a warm aftertaste.

• Roasted almonds and nuts: An elegant hint of hazelnuts and roasted almonds emerges slightly in the background, giving the drink desirable complexity and traditional bar charm.

• Beautifully rich and long-lasting crema: As a 100% selected Arabica, this coffee creates a beautifully high, compact and elastic crema of a nutty brown color, thanks to its masterful roasting style and precise grinding, which perfectly locks in the rich aroma inside the cup.
