OUR HISTORY AND PRODUCT

After spending years getting to know Italy, and especially South Tyrol, you form a special relationship with the people, the landscape, the traditions and certainly the excellent traditional cuisine, wines and, above all, the coffee culture.

Coffee has captivated us for a very long time, and enjoying an authentic Italian espresso has become an indispensible part of our everyday lives. In Italy, caffè freddo (iced espresso) is a particularly deeply rooted tradition. It has to be black, sweet and strong – simply put, a real espresso – which therefore stands out amongst the numerous new latte drinks. It signifies refreshment and pleasure, being alert, the custom and the desire to do something good for yourself.

Caffè freddo and Italy – an inseparable symbiosis

The idea for LUPO NERO was developed in spring 2009, and, within a short space of time, we were already in a position to find the perfect partners for our company in South Tyrol. In August 2009, we founded the company Caffèrista GmbH in Merano, Italy, in the heart of the South Tyrolean Alps, and moved into our office in the Gewerbepark Passer Industrial Estate. Collaborating closely with our local partners, we created a truly special product, >> LUPO NERO Caffè Freddo, and we are delighted by the positive feedback we have received from both the Italian and international markets.

From April 2010, we are proud to offer you a further product: >> LUPO BIONDO Caffè Latte, a latte with the Bioland organic seal, which once more emphasises the high quality of our products with absolutely no additives.

And we’ll let you in on another secret: our wolf pack will be expanding soon – watch this space!
