Italian Ingredients Available in Winterthur
Italienische Pasta
Pasta di Gragnano IGP — bronze-drawn, rough-surfaced, slow-dried for 24 hours. The texture isn’t a marketing claim: it’s a physical property that holds sauce better than any industrial alternative. LAPA offers:
- Pasta di Gragnano IGP — Bronze-drawn, all shapes
- Artisan fresh pasta — Tagliatelle, ravioli, tortellini, handmade
- Emilianische gefüllte Pasta — Cappelletti, Agnolotti, Lasagne
- Potato gnocchi — Fresh, light, consistently good
- Gluten-free pasta — For inclusive menus without compromising taste
Italian DOP Cheeses
Parmigiano Reggiano DOP, aged 24 months. Cut through a wedge: the crystals crack, the aroma rises, the flavour lingers. Every cheese in our range is traceable to a named producer, a region, a standard:
- Parmigiano Reggiano DOP — 24-36 months ageing, bold and granular
- Grana Padano DOP — Versatile, balanced, cost-efficient
- Fresh mozzarella — Fior di latte and bufala, milky when sliced
- Gorgonzola DOP — Mild or sharp, creamy and persistent
- Pecorino Romano DOP — Savoury and assertive, ideal for pasta and gratins
- Mascarpone and Ricotta — For desserts and first courses that define the meal
Cured Meats
Prosciutto di Parma DOP, 18 months cured. The fat melts at room temperature, the sweetness comes through without effort. Quality this consistent doesn’t come from a generic supply chain:
- Prosciutto di Parma DOP — 18+ months cured, sweet and aromatic
- Prosciutto San Daniele DOP — Delicate, slightly sweet, distinctive
- Speck Alto Adige IGP — Lightly smoked, alpine character
- Bresaola della Valtellina IGP — Lean, flavourful, elegant
- Guanciale and Pancetta — For authentic carbonara and amatriciana
- Mortadella Bologna IGP — With pistachios, silky and refined
Olive Oil, Preserves and Condiments
Tuscan extra virgin olive oil — grassy, fruity, with a clean peppery finish. The right oil doesn’t just dress a dish; it defines it:
- Italian extra virgin olive oil — Tuscan, Apulian, Ligurian — clearly sourced
- San Marzano DOP tomatoes — Sweet, fleshy, for sauces that taste of summer
- Aceto Balsamico di Modena IGP — Dense, sweet-sour, use with precision
- Pesto Genovese DOP — Authentic basil, vivid green, no shortcuts
- Olives, capers and Italian preserves — The complete Italian pantry
Bakery and Confectionery
