“Privileged to have reached our family’s fifth generation of service to the coffee industry along with our dedicated team at Torelli we continue to study and master the art of coffee blending and roasting to ensure we continue our family’s legacy and deliver the luxurious Italian cup of coffee our discerning customers deserve”
FOUNDER
The Costa family’s association with coffee dates back five generations. In the late1920’s Ermenegildo Costa roasted green coffee which he acquired from visitors to Parma in Italy using an iron pan over a wood fire to roast the beans which would then be shared between family and locals in his hometown of Baselica, Parma. Ermenegildo’s son Oreste Costa preserved the passion and continued to do the same together with a local roaster until his immigration to the UK in 1959.
In 1969 Sergio Costa commenced developing his vision of introducing Italian espresso to the UK. His vision and passion led him to creating the infamous Costa Coffee which in recent years has become a global brand.
Launching Torelli Coffee in 2000. The Torelli brand derives from his mother’s maiden name ‘Bertorelli’ and was adopted to honor his much-loved grandfather Aurelio Bertorelli.
Marco and his two sons Alessandro and Massimo continue their mission in providing fairly traded optimum blends of coffee to the hospitality industry worldwide.
Torelli Coffee is the Italian brand of coffee brought to you by Marco Costa.
Marco is the son of the man acknowledged for introducing the Italian espresso bar culture in the UK.
Equally passionate, he carries forward the determination and vision of his family’s tradition, launching Torelli to discerning and educated 21st-century lifestyles and tastes.
Torelli represents all that is great about Italian style and culture.
From fashion to sports cars, architecture to football, Italy is surpassed by no other culture for its love of all things fine
and a true passion for life.
Flair, passion, confidence, excellence, pride, and strength are all phrases one would associate with Italian culture.
These are the keywords around which the Torelli brand has been built.
Since we started we’ve paved our own way by endeavouring to do the right thing.
Over time, we have developed a unique way of working. We often carve new paths on our journey, inviting all to join us along the way. Through the process, we hope to create a more connected and sustainable future for everyone.
We build long-term partnerships with people at home and in producing countries by paying fair prices in exchange for products that suit specific market needs.
Our Vision
Paving a way for all.
Our Values
Doing the right thing is a sentiment that runs throughout the whole company. Our values not only shape who we are but also how we do business. We look to employ and work with people that share these values.
Integrity
Work in an open and honest way, ensuring transparency and consistency
in everything we do.
Sustainability
Continually be aware of our social and environmental impact and ensure
we act responsibly and ethically.
Collaboration
Encourage and support. Be open and inclusive – we share a common goal.
Knowledge
Be experts in our field and continually evolve our learning. Bring people
together to share this experience and enthusiasm.
SOCIAL RESPONSABILITY
Social Responsibility is more than just making a donation to some project which the donor believes is needed. We believe it is about working to improve the long-term interests of our stakeholders, being our suppliers, partners, customers and staff. To this extent, our company has endeavoured to work with a high degree of ethics, accountability, compliance and sustainable practices.
Our beliefs and values are demonstrated by having long-term partnerships with farmers in most producing countries by paying fair prices in exchange for a coffee that suits specific market requirements. The finances of a small cooperative do not stretch to new machinery or technical training which will help to increase the value of their coffee, but with a helping hand they can grow their resources and become independent. In many countries, access to finance is not readily available to small-scale growers and when it is, the rates can be extortionate. So we took the initiative to extend cash loans to farmers prior to the existence of the “ethical banks” who now share this responsibility.
