## Our Story

Lago Bakery was born from a simple dream: to bring the aroma of freshly baked bread to the homes of Ticino. Every day we wake before dawn to shape doughs that tell the story of our land.

We use carefully selected flour, sourdough starter nurtured with care, and seasonal ingredients from local producers. We believe good bread comes from patience — from long fermentation that develops deep flavors and natural digestibility.

We are not an industrial bakery. We are an artisan kitchen where every loaf is made by hand, with love and respect for tradition.

## Our Values

1. **Local Ingredients** — We collaborate with farmers and mills in Ticino to guarantee fresh, traceable, top-quality raw materials.
2. **Craftsmanship** — Every product is handmade, with slow natural leavening. No additives, no shortcuts — just time and care.
3. **Seasonality** — Our menu follows the rhythm of nature. Each season brings new flavors, new inspirations and unique creations.
