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 — an intermediate compromise between Super Crema (priority crema) and Gran Espresso (priority full-bodied strength).
Arabica-Robusta blend — Brazilian Arabica contributes sweet chocolate notes and a rounded body, while Indonesian and Vietnamese Robusta provides crema and body. A balanced medium roast preserves aromatic finesse while developing enough body for a traditional bar espresso.
In the cup: a round and envelopingnotes of milk chocolate, hazelnut , and toasted cereals, and a medium to long finish. This is the Lavazza blend preferred by baristas seeking versatility —excellent in both espresso and milk-based drinks, with notes that remain perceptible even through steamed milk.
