Quarta Caffè

Quarta Caffè 

The birth of an espresso empire

Over sixty years ago, Gaetano Quarta had the desire to open his own business and bring his life project to fruition. This is how Quarta Caffè was born in the 1950s, starting as a small roasting workshop in a bar in the historic center of Lecce.

From the very beginning, Quarta Caffè was known for its excellent quality and quickly became famous in its home region, Salento.

Since its creation, the Quarta company has remained family-owned through four generations and is now run by Antonio Quarta and his sons, Edoardo and Gaetano Quarta. All family members share the same passion for coffee, which helped the founder from the outset to make his roasting one of the best in Italy.

The devotion to coffee is the reason why Quarta Caffè was, and continues to be, one of the most sought-after coffees in Italy.

The Quarta family's goal is to maintain high standards of quality and absolute continuity in product quality. The combination of tradition and high technology ensures that Quarta coffees are among the best products on the international market.

Commitment to Environmental Protection

Quarta Caffè places great importance on the sustainability of its products. That is why environmental issues are an integral part of the company’s philosophy, beginning with the production process. The company has developed activities under the "Progetto Natura" (Nature Project), aimed at ensuring harmony with the environment. These include the integration of a wind turbine and a photovoltaic system, which cover most of the company’s energy needs. 

Quarta Caffè for All Tastes

The selection of green coffees and roasting profiles tailored to different types of beans is key to obtaining a premium product.

Tradition and experience allow the brand to offer a wide range of delicious coffees, particularly distinguished by their original blends. This range allows coffee lovers to choose between sweetness and intensity, from strong blends, perfect for cappuccinos or lattes, to rich and rounded blends ideal for making your favorite espressos.

Blends Particularly Recommended by Quarta Caffè:

Quarta Caffè Avio Oro

These blends are highly sought after. One of the most famous and popular is the Avio blend. The package recalls the uniforms of the pilots from Galatina and is dedicated to them. They often stopped to enjoy Quarta’s excellent coffee. The Quarta Caffè Avio Oro is characterized by its creamy and dense consistency, ensuring a refined and elegant aroma.
To achieve this unique flavor, the green coffees used for this blend are roasted individually to ensure a perfect roast. A traditional rotating drum roaster is used for this purpose.

Quarta Caffè Barocco

This coffee is a smooth coffee from southern Italy, with low acidity and almost no bitterness. It uses Arabica beans from Brazil, offering a chocolatey and intense aroma. Quarta Caffè Barocco is ideal for milk-based preparations like cappuccinos or lattes.

Quarta Caffè Argento

This blend combines high-quality Robusta beans with Arabica beans. The oily roasted beans create a full-bodied espresso with excellent crema, typically Neapolitan. Due to its consistency, Quarta Caffè Argento is perfect for moka preparation, a strong espresso, or simply a coffee with milk. It’s the essence of southern Italian coffee..
