Second courses based on game

The first piece of advice we want to give you is to choose our delicately flavored Biocaffè 100% Arabica in Grani , highly selected and roasted lighter, to accompany a stuffed pork roast, for example.

As a second tip, you can choose our Caffè Azeglio Macinato blend to pair coffee with equally roasted products and foods, such as dried fruit, speck, crispy bacon or smoked fish marinated in lemon juice.

An example? Coffee smoked salmon, a key ingredient to balance the sweetness of the salmon and its fatty texture. You can also finish the dish with a drop of soy sauce and chopped toasted hazelnuts.
