Chemical Laboratory for Product Analysis – Trieste Chamber of Commerce.

This is the only laboratory in Italy to have been granted the authority to “classify” coffee. The Laboratory has been officially entrusted by Health Ministry to carry out technical and research activities correlated with hygiene standards in the production and trade of coffee in Italy. If one considers the amount of coffee which arrives in Italy through the port of Trieste and that this Laboratory alone analyses half of that, the reasons for the international reputation it has acquired over the years are self-evident.

The Port

Trieste is the leading Italian coffee port with over one third of Italian imports traded here.
