Flavour profile
Crema e Aroma is one of the original blends in the Blue Line range — Lavazza's professional café range tailored to baristas. Its name sums up its promise: the perfect balance between dense crema and well-developed aromas — a middle ground between Super Crema (emphasis on crema) and Gran Espresso (emphasis on full-bodied strength).
Arabica-Robusta composition — Brazilian Arabica brings gentle chocolate notes and a rounded body, while Robusta from Indonesia and Vietnam brings crema and body. A balanced medium roast preserves aromatic finesse while developing enough body for a traditional café espresso.
In the cup: a smooth, mouth-filling espresso, with notes of milk chocolate, hazelnut and toasted cereals, and a medium to long finish. It is the Lavazza blend favoured by baristas seeking versatility — excellent both as an espresso and in milk-based drinks, with notes that remain perceptible even through steamed milk.

Frequently asked questions
3 kg pack vs 6 kg pack vs single 1 kg bag — how do I choose?
The blend and flavour profile are exactly the same across the 3 pack sizes. Choose according to how much you use:
- Crema e Aroma 1 kg — trial / low-consumption office, lasts 1–2 weeks.
- Crema e Aroma 3 kg (this item) — independent café / high-consumption office, lasts 2–3 weeks.
- Crema e Aroma 6 kg — medium-sized café / B&B hotel, lasts 4–6 weeks.
What is Lavazza's ‘Blue Line’?
Blue Line is Lavazza's professional café range for the Ho.Re.Ca. channel (hotels, restaurants and cafés). These blends are specifically fine-tuned for repeated, rapid extractions in cafés: consistent grinding, reliable crema and balanced aromas that remain perceptible even in milk-based drinks. Blue Line differs from the consumer range in its professional focus — it is mainly distributed through hospitality wholesalers or specialist retailers such as Cafemalin.
Crema e Aroma vs Super Crema — which should you choose?
The 2 blends are similar but have different focuses:
- Crema e Aroma (this item) — balance of crema + aroma. Milk chocolate / hazelnut / cereal notes, intensity 8/10. More expressive aromatically.
- Super Crema 3 kg — emphasis on crema. Notes of honey and roasted hazelnut, intensity 7/10. Denser, longer-lasting crema.
Who exactly is this 3 kg pack for?
For high but not industrial-scale consumption:
- Independent bar / neighbourhood café — regular customers, moderate throughput.
- High-consumption office (15–25 people) — lasts ~2–3 weeks.
- B&B hotel / guesthouse — limited breakfast service.
- Small restaurant — after-meal coffee, lunch or dinner service.
Estimated yield: ~428 espressos using a standard 7 g dose.
How should you store the 3 bags of 1 kg to preserve freshness?
Each 1 kg bag is sealed in a protective atmosphere (nitrogen) and fitted with a degassing valve. As long as a bag remains in its original sealed condition, it keeps until the best-before date shown (18–24 months). Store unopened bags at room temperature (18–22°C), away from light — do not refrigerate. Once a bag is opened, reseal carefully or transfer to an airtight, opaque jar, and ideally use within 3 to 4 weeks for optimal extraction.
