Your autumn menu deserves ingredients that arrive on time, certified, and exactly as described.
Every October, Swiss restaurateurs face the same challenge: they want to serve authentic Italian flavours — porcini mushrooms, Chioggia squash, white truffle, aged DOP cheeses — but finding a supplier who delivers reliably, on schedule and with traceable quality is harder than it should be.
That's where LAPA comes in. We are a Swiss B2B food wholesaler with Italian roots, supplying professional kitchens across Switzerland with over 2,000 certified Italian products — delivered in 24-48 hours, with no minimum order.
Certified quality: you know exactly what goes on the plate
LAPA sources exclusively DOP, IGP and STG certified products directly from Italian protection consortiums. No intermediaries. No supply chain compromises.
- Full traceability: Every product carries a verifiable lot number — Parmigiano Reggiano aged 24 months, not "long-aged".
- ATP-certified cold chain: Burrata from Puglia with 24/7 temperature monitoring right to your kitchen door.
- Pre-shipment quality control: Every batch is inspected before it leaves. If it doesn't meet our standard, it doesn't ship.
- Selected traditional producers: We work only with producers who respect traditional methods — because authentic flavour cannot be improvised.
Picture slicing a fresh burrata from Puglia delivered that same morning: the milk runs slowly, the aroma is delicate and creamy. That's what your guests are expecting on the plate.
Over 2,000 products for the perfect autumn menu
Italian autumn is exceptionally generous. With the LAPA catalogue, you have everything your menu needs:
- Dried and fresh porcini mushrooms — for risottos with deep woodland notes
- Squash and late-harvest radicchio — sweetness and bitterness in perfect balance
- Autumn DOP cheeses — Taleggio, Casera Valtellina, aged Grana Padano
- Black and white truffle — for the dish that defines the evening
- Artisanal and fresh pasta — over 200 references, from classic to exclusive formats
- Preserves, EVO oils and premium cured meats — the quality pantry every professional kitchen deserves
A handful of outstanding ingredients consistently outperforms elaborate preparations built on mediocre products. An autumn menu works when the ingredients speak for themselves.
