History

Coffee cream has distant origins and localized in the Italian homeland of coffee: Naples. It is said that in the historic Neapolitan city, during the 19th century, a cream based on milk, coffee and sugar began to be prepared to relieve and quench the palate during the hot summer days. This is in order not to give up the much-loved aroma of coffee which became less pleasant if drunk hot in the heat of summer. It is said that every necessity is made a virtue and this is a more than fitting example. Nowadays the Coffee Cream, also called Grandfather’s Coffeeis served in most bars, especially in the warmer months.
