Authentic Pasticciotto Leccese, from Salento to your home in Switzerland
Crumbly shortcrust pastry with a pastry cream heart: the iconic pastry of Lecce, frozen at the source and ready to bake. For patisseries, bars, restaurants and lovers of Southern Italy.
The cream-filled treasure chest that made Lecce famous
The pasticciotto leccese originates in Salento: a golden shortcrust pastry shell that holds a heart of pastry cream. It is enjoyed warm, freshly baked, when the pastry is crumbly and the cream still soft. From LAPA it arrives frozen at the origin: just bake it to find, even in Switzerland, the same aroma of a bar in Lecce.
Classic pastry cream, pastry cream and sour cherry, chocolate, pistachio and hazelnut: the most loved varieties from Salento, selected from Apulian patisseries and brought to your kitchen or your venue.

Custard and sour cherry, the pasticciotto that sells
The crema e amarena version is what customers ask for the most: the amarena cuts the sweetness of the cream and provides that unmistakable contrast. In a 50-piece box, frozen, it is perfect for those who want to offer warm and fragrant pasticciotti every morning without waste: you bake only what you need.
