I Caffè di Sicilia – Cattedrale

Description

A tribute to the treasures of Sicily, an exclusive capsule collection that combines culture and coffee.

“I Caffè di Sicilia – Cattedrale” is dedicated to the most important church in Palermo, a real masterpiece of Arab-Norman art protected by Unesco as a World Heritage Site.

CATHEDRAL OF PALERMO

The Cathedral of Palermo is the symbol of how this city has been able to welcome and unite profoundly different cultures over the centuries, which have learned to live together. The Cathedral, in fact, was built around 1180 on the remains of the previous largest mosque of the city. To build the Cathedral, the Normans hired skilled Arab workers, which until a few years earlier dominated the island and had contributed to making it great. The stylistic elements typical of Muslim art are evident in the architecture of the Cathedral and there are even some writings in Arabic: even a verse from the Koran carved on one of the columns of the south portico.

I CAFFE’ DI SICILIA

The “I Caffè di Sicilia” collection is Morettino’s homage to his land.

Each coffee is dedicated to one of the island’s treasures. A sort of Grand Tour to discover unique territories, between different flavors and stories.

Thanks to them, it is possible to make an imaginary walk through the streets of the most authentic Sicily accompanied by the scent of the blends created to recall the characteristics of the place to which they are dedicated.

FLAVORS OF THE TERRITORY

Inside each package is a special blend of freshly ground coffee, roasted by Morettino master roasters and made to recreate the traditional aromas and flavors of the city of Palermo. Coffee with an intriguing note and intense hints of sesame and candied fruit.
