Our history through coffee

50 years of coffee

1966. The large retail was taking its first steps in Italy, but people were still buying unpackaged coffee in small food markets or directly in coffee roasting companies.
Dario Trucco together with two partners opens the coffee roasting company Caffè Tiemme in Verzuolo.

The business proposal of Caffè Tiemme is to offer a top quality product, providing the best raw materials and the craftsmanship of roasting using a supply chain able to deliver a freshly roasted coffee. After a few years, it was time to grow up, so Dario Trucco acquired the other partners shares carrying on the production and distribution of Tiemme coffee and becoming the sole owner of the company that now had a new name: Trucco Dario&C. snc.

In 1990 Dario Trucco discovered the famous and prestigious brand called Caffè Excelsior. Mr.Trucco combines his experience and quality and his entrepreneurial spirit with the famous and prestigious brand Excelsior. Just like a coffee blend that reaches its perfect balance, becoming unique.

1995 In order to grow up you need bigger spaces so the coffee roasting company moved to Busca. A larger place and a breath of fresh air: the firstborn Roberta joined the company. Internet was changing the way people were working.
