Satchmi (Coffee Cake) by Casa Saporzi

TASTING NOTES FROM THE CURATOR

If you love coffee, you will love the Satchmi. Guaranteed. It’s your favorite Casa Saporzi olive oil cake, moist and delicious, with incredible flavor. The Satchmi is infused with high quality Italian espresso, coffee granules, and 100% Arabica bean Jamaican coffee liqueur. The addition of premium vanilla and Jamaican rum balance out the intensity of the coffee, while still perking you up.

PREPARATION AND PAIRINGS

While the Satchmi Coffee Olive Oil Cake is tempting to eat immediately (and we won’t blame you if you do), trust us when we say it gets better as it gets older. It’s on the fourth day from the day it’s baked that it reaches its peak flavor. So, if you can stop yourself, we encourage you to wait a while.

If you really want to start your day right, try enjoying a slice of Satchmi with a cup of coffee in the morning. Or have it for dessert after a rich meal, and enjoy with a scoop of Kurimu Kohi or Kurimu Nama Chocolate ice cream.

A HOME KITCHEN FULL OF HEART

Casa Saporzi is founded by The Bow Tie Duck’s Co-founder and Chief Operations officer, Raizza Encinas. She started Casa Saporzi as a baking project to allow her to have days (outside of Bow Tie Duck work) to be in her favorite place, the kitchen. The one true place that she feels grounded and that allows her to unwind.

Her love for the kitchen is inspired by her late grandmother Columbina, the homemaker of a family of seven kids. Her grandmother was so engrossed in the kitchen during her days that she started amassing a collection of her own recipes, typewritten (with a typewriter!) in little index cards. These recipes, both for scrumptious, homey dishes and loved baked desserts, have been been passed down within the Encinas family and has inspired a number of members, including Raizza, to continue the tradition of home cooking and home baking.

Casa Saporzi’s name comes from the word “sapor,” which pertains to the substance in food that produces taste and flavor. It is also an amalgamation of the names of the owner’s cats. This dual meaning perfectly reflects what Casa Saporzi stands for: quality food made with all the love of a home kitchen.

Casa Saporzi offers a range of home baked treats such as olive oil cakes and cookies and will soon offer a variety of original creations.
