Our Story
Re Nero was founded in 2010 in Naples, where coffee is a cult to reinterpret the centuries-old tradition of Neapolitan coffee in a modern way. "Tradition" is the core value of Re Nero, which translates into the search for the perfect aroma while remaining faithful to the typical flavors and processing of the territory. Re Nero's inspiration comes from a historical antecedent: the birth of the first coffee in the Kingdom of Naples.
The origin of the "Black King"
In 1771, the consort of King Ferdinand IV, Queen Maria Carolina of Hapsburg, during a court ball at the Palace of Caserta had her guests served a black-colored drink popular in Vienna and little in Naples where, precisely because of its black color, it was believed to bring evil: the "devil's drink." With the event held in the Palace of Caserta, the first coffee in the Kingdom of Naples was born . From that moment on it was the Neapolitans who excelled in the preparation of coffee thanks to the use of a special roasting of the beans that gave the drink a rich and intense taste.
Il caffè Re Nero
Today, Re Nero, mindful of the centuries-old tradition, offers what is known as "nostrano coffee" cooked to the "right point" with acreamy appearance and intense aroma .
