Organic Instant Barley Coffee

Soluble preparation for an organic drink based on barley and coffee, with a touch of cocoa.

Coffee cravings satisfied, with a low caffeine content: ready in a teaspoon

Morettino's Instant Barley Coffee

There's a time of day when you crave the taste of coffee without the kick: late afternoon, evening, or simply when you're already on your third cup. Orzo Caffè Solubile (Soluble Barley) is a natural, low-caffeine beverage that satisfies this craving. It's born from the combination of soluble barley—73,5% of the recipe, which provides its characteristic roasted, smooth, and slightly malty flavor—25% instant coffee, which provides its unmistakable aromatic signature, and a touch of low-fat cocoa powder, which rounds out the flavor with a delicious touch. The selection of organically sourced raw materials contributes to the health of both consumers and the environment. It's prepared in seconds with just a teaspoon and hot water or milk.
 
 
 

The roots of this drink are deep in the history of substitutes

Roasted barley is neither a recent invention nor a modern fallback: it became immensely popular in Italy between the 19th and 20th centuries, especially during the years of autarchy and war, when imported coffee was either unavailable or prohibitively expensive, and every family roasted barley at home. But what began as a necessity has evolved into a beverage with its own identity: roasted barley has a sweet, malty profile that coffee lacks, and it retained a place of honor in Italian cafés even when coffee became abundant again. In many families, it was the first "grown-up cup" offered to children, and today it remains the go-to for those who want to reduce caffeine without sacrificing the ritual. Combining barley and coffee in a single recipe, as Morettino does, means taking the best of two parallel traditions.
 
 
 
 

Choosing Instant Barley Coffee means taking care of yourself

The most striking figure on the label is the fiber content: 17 g per 100 g of product, a very high value that comes directly from barley, a grain historically prized for its beta-glucan content. Added to this is a fat content of less than 0,5 g, virtually no sugar—less than 0,5 g, so the drink is naturally not sweet—and, above all, a low caffeine content, making it suitable for afternoon and evening drinks and for those sensitive to stimulants. Made with entirely organic ingredients, it's the perfect choice for those seeking a light and mindful daily ritual.
 
 
 

How to Best Use: Instant Barley Coffee

• IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING CUP: dissolve a teaspoon in hot water for an essential drink, and accompany it with a Organic Vegan Oat and Fior di Sale Biscuit or Cocoa, Hazelnut and Pistachio Cantucci, which recall the cocoa note.
• FOR BREAKFAST, DISSOLVED IN HOT MILK: it becomes a creamy and enveloping drink, perfect with Biscuits Panfetta of Ancient Grains Organic spread with Organic Wildflower Honey o Nocciomiele Organic Honey and Hazelnut Cream.
• IN SWEETS AND COLD DRINKS IN SUMMER: use it to flavour creams, puddings and doughs instead of coffee, with a more delicate result; or dissolve it in a little hot water, dilute with Organic Fermented Milk cold and ice for a shaken barley.
