Family roasting since 1866<\/h3>\n

Carasso has been perpetuating a tradition for over 150 years. Our know-how has been passed on and developed throughout six generations, soon to be seven!<\/p>\n

Originally, coffee was a jealously guarded commodity. From its creation in the 19th century to the present day, the company’s aim has been to help people discover the subtle delights of this enchanted bean.<\/p>\n

Today, we like to share our passion with you in our two shops in Geneva (10, Rue Grenus and 16, Cours de Rive), as well as at our Competence Centre and our roastery (42, Route de Satigny).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_phone=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” el_class=”mobile-order-1″ advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”1437″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”6%” constrain_group_1=”yes” bottom_padding=”6%” left_padding_tablet=”8%” constrain_group_4=”yes” right_padding_tablet=”8%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”0px” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” parallax_bg=”true” parallax_bg_speed=”minimum” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”none” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bottom_padding=”10″ top_padding_tablet=”7%” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” top_margin=”30px” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in-from-bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][vc_raw_html]JTNDYSUyMGlkJTNEJTIybm9zLWNhZmVzJTIyJTNFJTNDJTJGYSUzRQ==[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” min_width_desktop=”75vw” min_width_tablet=”50vw” min_width_phone=”50vw” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ background_image=”1157″ background_image_position=”center center” enable_bg_scale=”true” background_image_loading=”default” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.5″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”fade-in” parallax_bg=”true” parallax_bg_speed=”minimum” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”60vh” custom_height_tablet=”80vh”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1750407700627{margin-top: 30px !important;}”]\n

Our coffees<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Our blends and Pure Origins are rated on three main tasting criteria: aroma, body and intensity. For our Grands Terroirs and Specialty Coffees, sweetness, acidity, persistence and balance are added.<\/p>\n

The shade of the roast is also an important factor.<\/p>\n

Some coffees are best enjoyed with a light to medium roast, which enhances their complexity and sometimes may give them slight acidity; others, with a darker roast, vary in bitter and have a more powerful character.[\/vc_column_text][split_line_heading animation_type=”line-reveal-by-space” font_style=”h5″ line_reveal_by_space_text_effect=”default” content_alignment=”center” mobile_content_alignment=”inherit” link_target=”_self” text_content=”The 7 tasting criteria”][\/split_line_heading][carousel script=”flickity” flickity_formatting=”default” desktop_cols_flickity=”3″ desktop_small_cols_flickity=”3″ tablet_cols_flickity=”2″ flickity_controls=”next_prev_arrows_overlaid” color=”extra-color-1″ flickity_overflow=”visible” flickity_wrap_around=”no-wrap” flickity_spacing=”15px” flickity_column_vertical_alignment=”default” column_padding=”20px” flickity_element_spacing=”30px” border_radius=”none” enable_column_border=”true”][item simple_slider_bg_image_position=”default” simple_slider_overlay_strength=”0.3″ simple_slider_bg_image_loading=”default” id=”1758301625708-3″ title=”Item” tab_id=”1758301625708-3″][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”10px” centered_text=”true” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text max_width=”375″]\n

This is why we wish to remain a roasting company on a human scale and close to the people where the traceability of each coffee is guaranteed. We select only top of the shelf green coffees and work on a slow roasting process, called heart roasting, which, we consider, remains the best method to bring out the intrinsic flavours of each coffee. Whether it’s a question of blends, pure origins, Grands Terroirs or Specialty Coffees, we only use well-sized, whole beans with a uniform screen and no defects to ensure an even colour once roasted.<\/p>\n

The choice one offers is also a fundamental value for us. Browse around through our four series of coffees where we offer you a choice of 13 Blends, 5 Single Origins, 6 Grands Terroirs and over 12 Speciality Coffees that are constantly evolving.<\/p>\n

Last but not least, for Carasso, sustainability as a whole and the environmental aspect in particular, are fundamental issues. Today and tomorrow. Aware of this, the Carasso family has been committed for over 30 years to the development of coffees that respect these urgent imperatives. Today, Carasso offers a unique choice of coffees in beans (7), all Fairtrade and Organic, of which 5 are conditioned in biodegradable capsules.<\/p>\n

We wish to continue to offer a maximum of Organic and Fairtrade coffees to consumers who share our convictions in this domain.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner

values: a passion for the product and the art of roasting.<\/p>\n

It all starts with Philippe and Ennio’s selection of the best green coffees in the producing countries. Alix and Guillaume then work on a slow roasting so as to reveal the unique character of each coffee, whether it be to create our Blends, our Pures Origins, our Grands Terroirs or our Specialty Coffees with their infinite aromatic notes.<\/p>\n

The strength and bitterness will come from a dark roast, while the aromatic complexity and acidity will be enhanced with a light to medium roast.<\/p>\n

For each coffee, we look for the best balance between aroma, strength, body, bitterness and acidity.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_phone=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” parallax_bg=”true” parallax_bg_speed=”minimum” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”443″ image_size=”medium_featured” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
