THE COMPANY

A long Italian
history.

The Ghigo family has grown a strong bond with coffee since the early 1940s, when they opened a roastery in Bra, in the province of Cuneo.

Our history is based on the focus on continuous technological and products development, which led the family to found the Dicaf company in 1987.Our main aims are: attention and devotion to raw materials, to their processing and to the final product offered to our customers. Thanks to our new catalyst, one of the first installed in Italy in the roasting department, we are able to transform fumes and odours, deriving from the roasting process, into harmless natural elements such as water and steam.

Over the years we have obtained truly unique and special blends. The range of our products has grown up with us: in addition to the lines Tradition, Selection abd Special bar, we produce decaffeinated coffee, organic and flavoured coffee in pods.

Our Arabica blends are created with qualities of coffee from Ethiopia and Central – South America (with particular attention to Brazil). Instead, the Robusta is the Indian Kapi Royal. In order to satisfy the coffee experts, we have also created a line of products from organic farming, ground, in beans and pods.

WHO WE ADDRESS TO

Our customers are bars and restaurants; to the individual who wants to enjoy a nice cup of coffee , even at home, we offer pods, capsules, coffee beans and ground blends that satisfy every taste.

Our supplies are always targeted

We only choose the beans that we know will keep all the notes of their flavour and the nuances of their perfume in sufficient quantities to give consistency to the product.

In addition to coffee, our offer includes many food products such as sugar, sweetener, chocolate, barley coffee, ginseng and coffee cream, but also cups, napkins and Dicaf branded items.

Quality and innovation

The production
process.

Each quality of coffee is different from the others and so it must be treated in a different way. We always choose only the best with targeted supplies in sufficient quantities to offer You the same blend with continuity over the years.

Each type of bean is roasted separately, at its precise temperature, in order to achieve the besto cooking point, for an excellent espresso coffee.

Each batch we receive is tracked: we always know with certainty at what stage of the roasting process it is , from loading, to roasting, to delivery

Discover our coffees

We always respect the gas disposal process contained in the freshly roasted beans. For the packages, we use nitrogen to completely eliminate oxygen, which causes the deterioration of the product. The packages are in triple laminated film, the best on the market. They are all equipped with unidirectional valves which releases the gases (and let us smell the aroma of coffee ), without opening them, preventing the entry of other substances (in particular oxygen).

Our warehouses

Storage warehouses:

Warehouse management is very important. Dicaf's ones are very big in Genoa, where those raw materials always available are secured.
In Bra there is the smaller but very practical one, where the roasted coffee remains only few days, waiting to be shipped, to guarantee the best aroma in your cups.

Dicaf and the environment

We are the land
we live in.

The commitment of Dicaf to the environment has taken a great step forward with a large investment. First in Italy in the roasting department, we now turn the fumes and odours resulting from roasting process into harmless elements such as water and steam, thanks to the brilliant technology of the new catalyst. Also, hybrid vans are used for the delivery process.

The innovative Reicat technology allows not only to reduce emissions but also to save energy: a 360° advantage for the efficiency of the system and the quality of the air.
