CERUTTI “IL CAFFÈ” AND “IL MASSIMO DEL CAFFÈ” YOUR COFFEE FOR EXCLUSIVE MOMENTS!
Over 65 years’ experience in roasting Italian coffee for bars, restaurants and hotels. At the beginning of the last century, the grandparents Angioletta and Alessandro owned a restaurant on the Lago Maggiore, where guests could enjoy authentic traditional cuisine. Enrico, the youngest of their four children, pursued a career in the hospitality industry as a chef in renowned five-star establishments, on the Lago Maggiore, in Cortina Italy, St. Moritz and Lugano Switzerland.
In the 1950s, he got married and took over and managed a restaurant-bar in Saronno, near Milan, called “Il Principe” for ten years. He returned to Switzerland in 1961 building on his experience and spreading the culture of the true Italian espresso coffee throughout Switzerland.
His son Massimo founded MASSIMO CERUTTI SA in 1985, through which he exclusively imported the famous Amaretti di Saronno. He later developed the CERUTTI “il Caffè” and “il Massimo del Caffè” brands. The slow and gradual roasting process allows the best aromatic components to be extracted from each type of raw coffee, to offer a premium quality product: the coffee is full-bodied, with a sweet and velvety taste, featuring delicate and refined notes of chocolate.
Our brand “Il Massimo del Caffè” has been created, offering compatible capsules with the most widely used integrated systems on the market, along with a new customized capsule system. The quality and passion in coffee preparation result in a form of “musical art”: Blend, Grinding, Coffee Machine and the Barista’s Skill.
Through its affiliated company, Industria Italiana del Caffè srl, the brand distributes its products in many countries, not only in Europe, but also in the Middle East (Coffee shop/Restaurant in Abu Dhabi CERUTTI “il Caffè” franchising concept).
CERUTTI “il Caffè” is also present with several CERUTTI bars, where customers can check daily our coffee quality.
In addition to coffee, our company has created the brand Italian fine pastry, such as single wrapped amaretti in different tastes (crunchy, soft, coffee), almond cantuccini and panettoni.
