Coffee from the highlands of Brazil

The 100 % Arabica beans of the Illy Arabica Selection Brasile come from the high plateaus of the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais. The Cerrado Mineiro in the north offers an enormous variety of exotic plants and animals, while the Sul de Minas in the south is known for its beautiful nature and landscape, as well as the particularly high quality of the coffee. The climate in these areas is characterised by strong rainy and dry seasons and is ideally suited for growing coffee.

The corporate history of Illy

Illy was founded in 1933 by Francesco Illy, an inventor and visionary whose achievements include, for example, the preservation of roasted coffee. The coffee cans he invented were exported to many countries at that time. His son Ernesto Illy joined the company at the end of the 1940s and had the idea of also selling the coffee cans to consumers. Thus, the smaller portions of coffee were born. The Illy company quickly became one of the important coffee manufacturers. Today, the Italian company sells its coffee in over 140 countries and has also made it onto the list of the World's Most Ethical Companies several times.
