Mealtime Magic: Espresso Tiramisu

Lavazza recently introduced its newest coffee varietal - Intenso Dark Roast – for the Mom that just keeps on going!  

 

Based on a traditional family recipe, and rated a nine out of ten on Lavazza’s intensity scale, Intenso is a bold new coffee with smoky, caramelized flavors and lingering chocolaty notes.

 

Intenso is available for purchase and inclusion in your Mother’s Day gift packages nationwide as well as in Canada at select retailers.
