Andrea Morettino, a fourth-generation coffee roaster from Palermo, in collaboration with the University of Palermo and the Botanical Garden, has successfully cultivated 30 kg of Arabica coffee at Sicily's first open-air coffee plantation. This achievement marks Italy's entry into the coffee belt, showcasing the country's potential to produce coffee. Despite the initial harvest being more educational and cultural than commercial, Morettino aims to establish a sustainable, low-environmental-impact coffee production project in Sicily, using native varieties and inspiring the next generation to engage in agriculture. The coffee beans have been roasted using traditional methods, resulting in a unique flavor profile with notes of zibibbo grapes, carob, and the Pomelia flower.
