A slow-roasted blend of green beans from Latin America, Africa, and Indonesia, the Danesi Gold has a well-balanced acidity and incredibly rich, silky texture. this medium roast is mellow, with caramel notes that flow smoothly on the palate.
Use these beans to make your breakfast coffee, and pair it with a good creamy omelet. For a more fun breakfast, how about a chocolate crepe? Cheeses like cheddar and gruyere also pair well with these beans, as well as stone fruits like peaches and apricots. For dessert (or snacks), pair the Danesi Gold Quality beans with a few squares of dark chocolate, brownies, caramel flans, donuts, and croissants.
Alfredo Danesi, expert and curator of secret coffee blends, founded Danesi Caffe in 1905. He led the spread of Roman coffee culture, and what is presently known as traditional Roman espresso. When his son, Giovanni, took over the company, revenue increased, sales expanded, and the international export of Danesi Coffee began.
It was in 1990, under the management of Giovanni’s sons—Alfredo and Roberto, that the process of modernization commenced, still with keeping in line with traditional preparations that set Danesi apart.
Today, it is a fully female-run company, headed by Roberto’s four daughters. The fourth generation of Danesi continues the successful development of the company—keeping up with technological advancements, modern trends and challenges, and training Danesi staff with up-to-date processes, but always honoring the time-old traditions and quality that their forebears passed down.
Store your coffee in an opaque, odor-free, airtight container in a dry, dark place at a cool room temperature. It’s best to consume coffee grounds within two weeks. Freshly roasted whole beans retain their freshness for up to one month.
