MULO
Coffee Perfection Brewed With Vietnamese Beans And Italian Expertise The story of MULO Artigiani del Caffè tells the tale of two Italian gentlemen who journeyed to Vietnam in search of coffee perfection. Combining Vietnam’s finest beans with Italian coffee roasting expertise, their blends celebrate the quintessence of Italian coffee culture and the art of espresso.
T
he name Mulo, the Italian word for mule, is taken from the offspring of a male donkey and a female horse. It’s a tough, resilient beast of toil, used in many countries for the transportation of coffee beans from plantation to farm. This strong, hardy animal gives its name to MULO Artigiani del Caffè, symbolising the hybrid combination of Vietnamese beans and Italian coffee roasting know-how. Mulo was founded by Fabio Fasolo and Daniele Melito, two Italians who have come together with a shared passion for coffee. Fabio has a background in F&B management for luxury brands, which has taken him around Asia to countries such as Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong and now Vietnam. Daniele is a professional coffee roaster and an experienced barista who perfected his skills in the coffee shops of Rome and Taiwan. Together, they have the know-how and expertise to create some truly memorable coffees.
