The Technical commission establishes excellent features for every source of raw coffee, indicating also ideal areas and altitudes of cultivation, loading period, etc. Moreover, it verifies that the quality of coffee in each harvest conforms to the quality standards.

Coffee producers with requested requisites sent to CSC's qualified taster samples of each harvest. Thus complete physical and organic testing is carried out and put to the Technical commission which verifies compliance with the characteristics defined.

When an associated coffee roaster purchases a shipment of certifiable coffee, an independent Inspector - once the ship has arrived in port - takes samples during the discharge operations and forwards them to the Qualified Taster who then compares the product with the sample previously supplied.
If the Qualified Taster confirms the identity of the coffee, CSC sends the coffee roaster a number of labels exactly proportionate to the quantity of raw coffee purchased.

The blend names must be declared beforehand to CSC. The blend cannot be marketed without a CSC label.

Coffee roasters are obliged to conserve green - until the Inspectors arrive at the roasting premises - samples of green coffee corresponding to blend declared, each sample accompanied by a record reporting all the shipments of certified coffee used at the time.

CSC Inspectors carry out inspections at the associated coffee roasteries to verify that all obligations imposed by the procedure to guarantee the quality of the product are respected, including the correct recording of roasting.

The CSC labels are counterfeit-proof hologram and are numbered progressively. Once the label has been applied on the pack, it is guaranteed that the contents of are solely and exclusively Certified Special Coffee.
