Your current supplier runs late — and you only find out when your kitchen is already in motion. A missing or substandard mozzarella on a Saturday night is not a logistics issue. It is a reputation issue. And in the restaurant business, reputation is everything.
LAPA is a Swiss B2B food wholesaler specialising in direct import from Italy. We supply pizzerias across Eastern Switzerland with fresh, certified mozzarella — unbroken cold chain, 24-hour delivery, and access to over 2,000 authentic Italian products. One supplier. Complete peace of mind.
Why LAPA Mozzarella Is Different
Cut a mozzarella in half: watch the milk run slowly, white and fragrant. That is the mark of a genuine product. Not all mozzarella is created equal — and as a pizza professional, you know this better than anyone.
LAPA sources exclusively from Italy’s finest dairies. Every batch that reaches your kitchen is backed by:
- Absolute freshness — maximum 3-4 days from production to your prep table
- Certified cold chain — uninterrupted from the Italian dairy to St. Gallen
- 24-hour delivery — mozzarella arrives at peak freshness, not days past it
- Full range — fior di latte, bufala DOP, professional block, ciliegine
- Wholesale pricing — direct import from Italy, no intermediaries
Choosing the Right Mozzarella for Your Pizzeria
Mozzarella Fior di Latte
The professional standard for Neapolitan pizza. Made from fresh cow’s milk, it melts evenly and strings beautifully — the golden pull your customers expect. Soft texture, clean and delicate flavour. Best for: classic margherita, authentic Neapolitan pizza, pizzas with fine toppings that should shine, not be masked.
Mozzarella di Bufala Campana DOP
Produced exclusively in Campania, from buffalo herds raised between Salerno and Caserta. The result: deeper, slightly tangy flavour with a creaminess that fior di latte simply cannot match. Best for: gourmet pizzas, premium margherita, added raw after baking — for operators who want to charge more and justify every cent.
Professional Block Mozzarella
The smart choice for high-volume service. High yield, perfect and consistent melt, easy to grate and portion. Longer shelf life for leaner inventory management. Key benefits: controlled food cost, zero waste, uniform quality on every pizza.
Burrata e Stracciatella
For signature gourmet pizzas. Apulian burrata — delivered within hours — placed raw on a hot pizza straight from the oven. The result is a creamy, indulgent experience your guests will come back for. Add at the last moment, post-bake only.
