Lavazza – a sustainable company with a long tradition Lavazza was founded in 1895. Originally planned as a local shop in Turin, it quickly developed a broad customer base. The company, which has survived two world wars, made early progress as a coffee roaster and coffee processor. It was not until Emilio Lavazza, the grandson of the company's founder Luigi, that the company became one of Italy's major coffee groups. Today, the company has a global presence and uses five factories for the production of its coffee varieties, three in Italy and two abroad. The quality of the products is maintained to the same high standards as they have been for more than 120 years, and sustainability is a core value for the Lavazza family, now in its fourth generation of running the company.

Lavazza stands for Italian coffee culture
Few other names are as closely associated with Italian coffee roasting as Lavazza. From a small family business, it has developed into a global player, offering the highest quality coffee and espresso while cherishing its Italian heritage. It was probably Luigi Lavazza, a food merchant in Turin since 1894, who first began systematically blending coffee varieties from different origins to improve their taste and aroma, thus laying the foundation for what is now a globally successful family business. The wide range at Lavazza - The company works with many different and exclusively high-quality coffee varieties and roasts that provide a perfectly balanced aroma and a rounded flavour. The company, which originally had espresso as its core business, now offers a wide range of products: from coffee beans to ground coffee, to modern capsule systems and coffee pads. Lavazza, which is very environmentally conscious, has developed innovative Eco Caps that are compatible with all original Nespresso® machines* except Nespresso® Vertuo. Lavazza capsules impress with their unique aroma protection layer inside, which keeps the coffee fresh and always guarantees an excellent taste experience. Eco Caps are fully compostable according to EN 13432. When disposed of in bio-waste, Lavazza capsules provide nutrients for new life as fertiliser. Lavazza Tierra - certified quality Quality coffee combines exceptional taste with high sustainability. The commitment to sustainable coffee cultivation has been part of the company's tradition for over 15 years. Lavazza's own certification programme, TIERRA!, is proof of this. The coffee beans for this range come exclusively from sustainable agriculture and are produced in accordance with strict criteria for social and environmental responsibility. Through partnerships and collaborations with local coffee growers, Lavazza can ensure that both people and the environment are well cared for, while delivering quality coffee to consumers.
