History of the Caffe Marocchino
Caffè Marocchino, which translates to "Moroccan coffee," is a traditional Italian coffee beverage that originated in the Northern city of Turin in the Piedmont region. The exact origin of the drink is not clear, but it is believed to have been created in the 1970s.
The origins of Caffè Marocchino can be traced back to the traditional Italian beverage called Bicerin. Bicerin is a layered drink made with espresso, thick chocolate, and whipped cream. Caffè Marocchino is a simpler version of Bicerin, consisting of only espresso, cocoa powder, and steamed milk.
The drink was named "Marocchino" because its dark color and sweet flavor were thought to resemble the taste of coffee from Morocco, which was historically one of Italy's main trading partners for coffee.
