From the Naples of the 1950s to an international brand, the story of Trucillo is a fascinating journey through the world of coffee.
It all began in the heart of Naples in the 1950s, when Cesare Trucillo, surrounded by sacks of raw coffee beans in the bustling port, discovered his passion for this beverage. Together with his brothers, Umberto, Matteo, and Vittorio, he transformed this passion into a family tradition, giving birth to Caffè Moka Salerno.
A Family Legacy
In the 1980s, Matteo, Cesare's son, took the reins of the company, bringing with him a blend of tradition and innovation. It was under his guidance that the company was renamed Cesare Trucillo Spa, a name that became synonymous with quality and authenticity on the international stage.
"To describe our company, it's enough to talk about our espresso. And vice versa. The coffee we produce bears our name and, with it, everything that it encompasses: because we are our coffee",
says Matteo Trucillo.
A Constant Commitment to Quality
The pursuit of quality is a constant endeavor for the Trucillo team. Every goal achieved is an incentive to set new ones. The coffee culture is deeply rooted in the company and extends beyond its borders thanks to the dedicated work of the entire team.
