Sysco Launches Its Own Coffee Brand, Citavo

Foodservice provider Sysco has launched its own coffee brand, called Citavo, extending its offering to its 10,000+ customers across the island of Ireland.

Details

The barista-style coffee, which has notes of honey, dried apricot, toast and vanilla butter, marks Sysco’s first step on a journey to bring an extensive range of own-brand products to the Irish market.

According to the CEO of Sysco Ireland, Mark Lee, Citavo Espresso Modena, which is created by roasting arabica and robusta beans, is a product that can rise to any coffee occasion, from the early morning pick-me-up to an after-dinner coffee with friends.

“Ireland’s coffee drinkers have become ever more discerning, so we undertook a comprehensive programme of testing and tasting during the product development phase,” said Lee. “Our team of coffee specialists have been on a journey to deliver a bespoke blend, perfectly balanced in sweetness, acidity, body and flavour, to create the perfect cup of coffee for any setting. Espresso Modena is a coffee that meets the needs of all of our customers.”

Significant Extension Of Sysco’s Offering

The launch of Citavo, which is to be followed by more Sysco brand products, marks a significant extension of the company’s offering, helping to continue to accelerate sales across the island.
