French term or phrase: caché authentique
Les Cafés René confectionnent des produits de haute qualité conçus en Corse, et plus précisemment à Ajaccio en faisant appel aux méthodes traditionnelles donnant au café un caché authentique !

I am struggling to know what they are trying to say here. Can anyone help?

Many thanks

English translation:cachet of authenticity
Explanation:
I believe "caché" (hidden) is meant to be "cachet," in which case it needn't be translated, since the sense of "prestige"(another French word commonly used in English) is also expressed in English using the word "cachet." It derives from the notion that what was protected by a royal seal is deemed to be prestigious. In this case, it emphasizes that the product is authentic and therefore valuable, perhaps even stylishly so.
