Italy and coffe: an old story

The history of coffee in the Boot country began centuries ago, and all because of its excellent geographic position – which greatly facilitated its trade relations with the Arabs, who spread the coffee tradition throughout our Italy. It is worth remembering that one of the most important centers of coffee propagation in the 16th century was Cairo, Egypt, from where traders and pilgrims exported coffee to almost all parts of the world.

The expansion

The real expansion of coffee took place through the Ottoman Empire, which supplied countries with immense quantities of the bean and, of course, this included Italy. Skip to the seventeenth century, where called “Arab wine” finally made its debut in Europe. And it was for good! There is a story, which has never been confirmed – but also never contradicted – that a century before coffee became a “favorite” in Italy, it was already possible to find Coffea arabica seeds in Venice. The beans were sold in various apothecaries, cost a small fortune and were used as a remedy for various problems. The fact is that, at the end of the 17th century, coffee shops emerged in full force throughout Europe and are here to stay!

Why was coffee “the wine of Arabia”?

Because it was the only drink, apart from tea, that Arabs could consume during religious fasting. Coffee was also known as ‘devil’s drink’! This is because people did not understand how a dark and bitter drink had the ability to give energy and revitalize energy – evidently, at that time, there were no studies that exist today on the benefits (and harms!) of coffee, so there was so much doubt around the drink.

The first Italian coffee shop

The first Italian coffee shop dawned in Venice and was named ‘a bottega do caffè’; the place was very well located (in Piazza San Marco) and opened at the end of the 17th century.

Italy is constantly on the list of countries that consume the most coffee in the world and is very famous for its tasty and imposing coffees; no wonder Italian coffees hold several awards around the world!

There are currently coffees for all tastes and this is reflected in the various roasts, ways of cultivation, preparation, etc.

CURIOSITY:

The first ‘official’ coffee shop in Italy was opened in Venice in 1615 and, a century later, in 1720, the famous Caffè Florian was inaugurated in Venice, in St Mark Square, which is still a reference in the world today. And this is the oldest coffee shop in the world!
