Cantarella Bros. was established in 1947 by two Italian brothers, Orazio and Carmelo Cantarella, who recognised a need for European foods in Australia. However, when it came to coffee, they knew coffee tastes best when it’s fresh - so they began roasting Vittoria Coffee in Australia in 1958.

Now, over 50 years later, as well as a major supplier and importer of European food, Cantarella Bros. is the largest pure coffee company in Australia. Today, under the leadership of Les Schirato, Managing Director, supported by an experienced and motivated management team and directed by an external board, the Cantarella Group has carved a unique place for itself in the Australian marketplace both as an importer and manufacturer. It is ranked within the top 500 privately owned Australian companies and is without question a major market leader.

You will be given the opportunity to see the bean, witness the roasting and blending, taste with our cuppers and of course instruction in the fine art of crafting this delectable beverage – the perfect espresso.
