Taste Profile
Crema e Aroma is one of the historic blends in the Blue Line — Lavazza's professional bar line calibrated for baristas. Its name sums up its promise: the perfect balance between a dense crema and well-developed aromas — where Super Crema prioritizes crema and Gran Espresso prioritizes full-bodied strength, Crema e Aroma aims for the middle ground.
Arabica-Robusta blend — Brazilian Arabica provides the round body and sweet chocolate notes, while Indonesian and Vietnamese Robusta contributes the crema and body. A balanced medium roast preserves the aromatic finesse while developing enough body for a traditional bar espresso.
In the cup: a round and enveloping espresso, with a gentle attack of milk chocolate notes , a balanced body supported by hints of hazelnut and toasted cereals , and a medium to long finish. The crema is dense but slightly less persistent than the Super Crema—a compromise for a more expressive aroma. This is the Lavazza blend of choice for baristas seeking versatility —excellent in both espresso and milk-based drinks.
