Torani dates back to 1925, when, with handwritten [[recipes]] from their hometown of [[Lucca]], [[Italy]], husband and wife Rinaldo and Ezilda Torre introduced Torani syrups to the [[North Beach, San Francisco|North Beach]] neighborhood of San Francisco. Mixing their syrup recipes with [[sparkling water]], the Torres introduced the classic [[Italian soda]] to local [[cafes]], and soon began mixing, blending and selling Torani Syrups from their Italian wholesale [[grocery]].

In the early 1990s, Torani was involved in the creation of the flavor [[latte]]. While sitting in San Francisco's Caffe Trieste, coffee industry veteran (and friend of Torani) "Brandy" Brandenburger saw Torani behind the counter and brought a bottle home to experiment with espresso and steamed milk. As a result of Brandenburger’s testing, the first flavored caffe latte was produced in the U.S.
 
Torani remains a family legacy, owned by Paul Lucheta and Lisa Lucheta, grandchildren of Rinaldo and Ezilda. The company employs over 100, and Torani products are distributed in over 40 countries.
