Passion for coffee since 1929
With a passion for the unique taste of coffee, Vito Zichittella founded a small coffee roasting company in Marsala in 1929. The company developed very successfully over the years, so that in 1971 the company was renamed a public limited company. In 1977, production moved to a larger site. The distribution network was expanded, initially nationally and later internationally. For more than 85 years, the Zichittella family has run the company with the same passion and entrepreneurial spirit as its founder Vito.
Real Italian Espresso
Today, the company still imports green coffee beans directly from coffee-producing countries, especially Central America and India. A careful selection of coffee qualities is a top priority. Today's production facilities are controlled by the latest software and monitored by qualified specialists. The combination of experienced craftsmanship and the latest technology creates a pure taste pleasure - real Italian espresso.
The creation of taste and aromas
At Zicaffè, the blending and roasting is always carried out with the utmost care to ensure that customers enjoy a perfect coffee experience. These two phases of the production process are particularly important because they are where the coffee develops its unique character. The taste and aromas develop through careful roasting and blending of Arabica and Robusta beans. Roasting is done using hot air so that the beans are roasted evenly and gently. They are then cooled with cold air.
