History & Origins

Its story began in 1930

Anhelo was born in the heart of Naples, where coffee is a daily ritual. Its story began in 1930, when the first artisan roasteries began perfecting the art of slow roasting, bringing out intense aromas and a full-bodied taste.

Today, that same tradition lives in every bean: a cultural heritage that brings together craftsmanship, passion and the aroma of an authentic Neapolitan identity.

The Neapolitan Recipe

Balanced proportions and careful roasting

Anhelo is a precious blend made from the finest Arabica coffees from Brazilian plantations and the highlands of Central America, with a note of excellent Ethiopian Robusta and washed Indian Robusta.

Its success comes from balanced proportions and careful roasting, the result of a uniquely Neapolitan expertise dating back to 1930. Anhelo is produced in limited quantities and distributed exclusively through the domestic and international premium gastronomy market, refined boutique hotels and selected cafés.

Beyond Italy's Borders

Presence on the finest tables

Anhelo's quality has won over the most discerning palates beyond Italy's borders. Today, the blend is chosen by restaurants, fine-dining venues, boutique hotels and cafés.

Coffee Curiosities

Coffee has inspired musicians, philosophers and artists of every age.

Johann Sebastian Bach dedicated the famous Coffee Cantata, a playful musical piece celebrating the pleasure of the drink.
Beethoven, on the other hand, was so meticulous that he counted exactly 60 beans for every cup he prepared.
Balzac drank incredible amounts of it to write, while in Naples Eduardo De Filippo called it “poetry in a cup”.
Coffee is a protagonist in cinema too: in the film Coffee and Cigarettes by Jim Jarmusch it becomes a symbol of encounters, conversations and small everyday rituals.

“Anhelo: a taste that tells its own story.”
