Roasting
The second stage of coffee production is Roasting, a fundamental and delicate process that requires the know-how, precision and passion of experienced professionals. Each quality of raw coffee has its own peculiarities, related to the plantation of origin. For this reason, we perform a customized, single-origin roasting of raw coffee, which aims at enhancing and exalting its organoleptic characteristics. This is all made possible by innovation and applied technology that allows us to manage the process by varying degrees/second. A sort of coffee identity card is thus set. The final moment of this phase is the air cooling process in special tanks containing 4 rotary arms.
Coffee blending
The art of blending different coffee varieties
The third phase is Coffee Blending. The perfect blending of different coffee varieties is a true art that guarantees over time all the organoleptic characteristics distinguishing Portioli’s blends and their typical in-cup aroma. Thanks to a careful selection of different single-origin coffees from different countries and single-origin roasting of raw coffee, we arrive at the important blending process based on expertly designed and balanced recipes. Through sample tastings by our staff of specialized tasters, the characteristics of each product such as aromas, body and flavors are analyzed and therefore delineated. Our recipes are then processed and analyzed periodically through sample testing to arrive at the best in-cup result.
Coffee packaging
Final stage of production
The last phase is Coffee Packaging. Blended coffee is transferred to the storage silo, and then to the rotary one that separates the intact and whole coffee beans from the broken ones. Once this step is completed, the selected and roasted coffee is poured into the multiple packaging machines, which according to precise production schedules will make different formats, suited to all uses. The packaged coffee is ready to be shipped. Storage is done in a cool and airy place to best preserve the organoleptic characteristics of the different blends. The entire Portioli’s coffee production cycle takes place inside our factory. This allows us to carefully follow each single production phase from the arrival of the raw coffee to the shipment of the packaged product, always guaranteeing the high quality of our blends on the market.
