1895
It all began when Luigi Lavazza, in 1895, opened the first Lavazza Drogheria via San Tommaso, Turin. We imagine him surrounded by bags of coffee of different origins, taken in the creation of the blends.
Innovation
Luigi Lavazza was a man full of initiative, inventiveness, and passion for his work. He discovered the different origins and characteristics of this plant, coffee, and studied the art of blending to satisfy the tastes of customers, creating blends.
Product
Also thanks to his trip to Brazil he was able to see, in an era of great changes, all the potential of the drink. The Lavazza coffees we drink today are the result of his idea of combining coffees from different parts of the world.
