Camelia was founded in 2011, from an idea by Anna Albini, the shop owner. A former art teacher and graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts, she decided to open this store, dedicating a special space to the world of loose-leaf tea, herbal infusions, and spices.
Camellia Sinensis is the name of the tea plant.
From here comes the name “Camelia.”
Camelia is a Drogheria, offering a wide range of fine food specialties:
- Chocolate and candies
- Coffee from different origins, available freshly ground or in beans
- Jams, preserves, and honey
- Artisan cookies, panettone and colomba cakes
- Savoury products, wine and spirits, olive oil, preserved vegetables, sauces, mustards, and carefully selected local specialties such as pasta and rice.
Among them, our “Tortelli Box” stands out: it contains all the ingredients and the recipe for the famous Tortelli Cremaschi.
Camelia is also about Celebrations, with Giovanni Mucci’s exquisite confectionery and original edible favours (bomboniere) inspired by gourmet specialties.
The Camelia Store offers a lovely selection of cups, teapots, herbal tea mugs, bowls, coffee makers, and many accessories for tea and coffee.
Camelia also carries Provençal stain-resistant tablecloths, beautiful cotton tablecloths with floral patterns, aprons, kitchen towels, and other home textiles, as well as natural products for personal and home care.
