Panarabica luxury blends by Bazzara: A Sensory Journey Across Three Continents 

The Panarabica line was awarded for its three 100% Arabica blends that, in their refined complexity, bring a triumph of balance and contrasts to the cup, encapsulating the richness of three continents. Each stage of this extraordinary adventure reveals exceptional aromas and flavors that intertwine like a cartographic itinerary, first crossing the lands of America from North to South, then leading, sip by sip, into the heart of the cradle of humanity, and finally discovering the ancient Asian traditions. 

Panamericana: The goodness of a blend journeying through the entire American continent. Thanks to the eleven Arabicas used, hints of exotic fruit and cocoa pulp blend with pastry notes, offering a sweet and balanced flavor. 

Panafricana: The essence of the African continent in a single blend. From the mineral hints of African lands, citrus and wine notes emerge, revealing an unmistakable taste. 

Panasiatica: From a journey along the ancient spice route, a blend is born where syrupy body reconciles the bold hints of the Nepalese peaks and the fruits of the Indonesian forests, with a peppery finish that surprises the taster with a nod to the typical spices of Indian markets. 

This sensory journey was conceived by Marco Bazzara, Quality Manager, Q-grader, and Academy Director of the Bazzara Academy, in a process that took years to perfectly calibrate the profiles of these complex recipes, resulting in a truly refined product. “Supporting the selection of the best Arabica varieties is the expertise of important companies in the sector working alongside us” adds Marco Bazzara.  

Luxury Food & Beverage Quality Awards 2024 

The prestigious award given by Michelin-star chef Mauro Elli from the restaurant Il Cantuccio, was received by Cristina Gallo, Brand Manager, and Adriano Rosso, Art Director at Bazzara Caffè. “Receiving this recognition for the second consecutive year is an immense satisfaction for the entire team, especially considering that it is a new line launched only in October 2023,” says Cristina Gallo. “The prestige of the title is enhanced by the big names of the chefs on the jury – who certainly do not go unnoticed – and it is an important confirmation for us that the Bazzara Luxury Blends range, composed of the three Panarabica and the Dodicigrancru blend, awarded last year, is receiving the appreciation we hoped for.” 

“Our ideal customer is a high-end consumer: a sophisticated person, capable of appreciating both the quality of the product and the elegance with which it is presented,” adds Adriano Rosso. “In the world of luxury and haute cuisine, the aim is to create a true experience designed to amaze the consumer. Therefore, our goal, when someone savors a Bazzara coffee, is to give them a moment of pure joy, identified as a ‘small daily luxury,’ and this award is proof that we are on the right track.” 

During the competition, the best high-end products were divided in 11 categories, including, of course, selection coffee. All products were tasted and judged by an excellent jury composed of chefs and professionals from the haute cuisine sector. The Panarabica line was thus selected as the best product in its category among a selection of renowned Italian coffees, further consolidating Bazzara’s reputation in the excellence coffee sector worldwide. 

The Bazzara Panarabica line is available in beans, packaged in 250g and 1kg bags.
