Coffee, here are the new Nespresso proposals inspired by Naples and Venice – Italian Cuisine

The new capsules were presented with a special menu of dishes and drinks developed by chef Tommaso Arrigoni and bartender Alex Frezza

Few things manage to unite Italy from north to south like love for the coffee. Because in the end in that cup of espresso that gives us a good morning every morning we find that sip of familiarity that allows us to face the day with the right panache and the right security. He knows it well too Nespresso, which to pay homage to our local traditions linked to coffee has decided to expand its range of intense Italian inspiration with two new references: after Palermo, Rome, Florence, Genoa and the Italian Ristretto, then the special capsules dedicated to Naples it's at Venice.

Intense as Naples, elegant as Venice

The two new coffees offered by Nespresso thus become the perfect transposition of their reference cities into a cup. The soul of Naples is encapsulated in a blend of Robusta and Arabica, characterized by a particularly dense body and a persistent underlying bitterness given by long toasting: the right intensity of taste and consistency to celebrate the undisputed Neapolitan ritual of espresso. The proposal inspired by Venice, however, seems to want to recall the ancient role of the lagoon city as a junction point between the Ottoman Empire and Western Europe. The history of the Republic of San Marco is therefore told through an aromatic coffee in the most delicate way possible, elegantly balanced, with caramel notes and a dense body.

A party between coffee and stars

The global launch of the new Nespresso references was celebrated with an exclusive event at the spaces of the Napoleonic Eugenia Foundry Milan, a place once dedicated to the production of bells and bronze statues. The evening was led by the journalist and TV presenter Mia Ceran; among the other distinguished guests, the presenter Andrea Delogu, the actress Vittoria Puccini and the actor Alessio Lapice, together with the actor and director Edoardo Leo, back from recent successes in the movie theater The goddess luck is 18 gifts.

An espresso in the kitchen

To celebrate Nespresso's homages in Naples and Venice during the presentation party was also a special menu developed by the star chef Tommaso Arrigoni, at the helm of the Innocenti Evasioni restaurant in Milan. Two, in particular, the dishes with which the chef wanted to reiterate the versatility of coffee in the kitchen: potato gnocchi with pepper, fennel and galangal, soft mascarpone, reduction of Nespresso Inspiration Napoli and lemon zest; and guinea fowl breast, almond milk, Jerusalem artichoke, cocoa beans and Nespresso Venezia inspiration gel. Everything was then sublimated by the special Spaccanapoli cocktail, created by the bartender Alex Frezza of the Neapolitan speakeasy L’Antiquario: in this glass, in this case, the Nespresso Inspiration Napoli was accompanied by the ingredients that we find in the recipe below.
