Crema, Lombardy

Crema (Italian: [ˈkrɛːma]) is a town and comune in the province of Cremona, in the region of Lombardy in northern Italy. It is built along the river Serio at 43 kilometres (27 mi) from Cremona. It is also the seat of the Catholic Bishop of Crema, who gave to Crema the title of city. Crema's main economic activities traditionally relate to agriculture and cattle breeding, but Its manufactures include now cheese, iron products and cotton and wool textiles. Inhabitants are called cremaschi, singular cremasco.

History

Crema's origins have been linked to the Lombard invasion of the 6th century CE, the name allegedly deriving from the Lombard term Krem meaning "little hill", though this is doubtful since it does not lie significantly above the surrounding countryside. Other linguistic roots may suggest an older origin, in particular the Indo-European root meaning a boundary (cf. Ukraine, crêt). Other authorities trace its foundation back to the 4th century CE, when Milan was capital of the Western Roman Empire. According to another version, it was instead an even more ancient Celtic or Etruscan settlement.

Caffè crema

Caffè crema (Italian: cream coffee) refers to two different coffee drinks:

  • An old name for espresso (1940s and 50s).
  • A long espresso drink primarily served in Switzerland and Austria and northern Italy (1980s onwards), along the Italian/ Swiss and Italian/ Austrian border.

    • As a colorful term it generally means "espresso", while in technical discussions, referring to the long drink, it may more narrowly be referred to as Swiss caffè crema.

    Variant terms include "crema caffè" and the hyperforeignism "café crema" – "café" is French, while "caffè" and "crema" are Italian, thus "café crema" mixes French and Italian.

    Synonym for espresso

    "Caffè crema", and the English calque "cream coffee" was the original term for modern espresso, produced by hot water under pressure, coined in 1948 by Gaggia to describe the light brown foam (crema) on espresso. The term has fallen out of use in favor of "espresso".

    As a colorful synonym for "espresso", the term and variants find occasional use in coffee branding, as in "Jacobs Caffè Crema" and "Kenco Café Crema".

    Sitting On Top Of The World

    by: Cream

    One summer day she went away
    Gone and left me, she's gone to stay
    She's gone, I don't worry
    I'm sitting on top of the world
    All the summer worked all this fall
    Had to take Christmas in my overalls
    She's gone, but I don't worry
    I'm sitting on top of the world
    Going down to the freight yard
    Gonna catch me a freight train
    Going to leave this town
    Worked and got to home
    She's gone, but I don't worry
