Bakers and pastry chefs in Irsina, Basilicata.

Our story

A family story

It is 1947 when Savino Lapenna starts working as a baker in Irsina, a small village a few kilometres from Matera. Savino makes bread, pizzas and focaccias and prepares traditional pastries and sweets. With a spirit of enterprise and a great passion for good homemade bread, the Lapenna family bakery begins its success story.

Today Antonio Lapenna and his son Giuseppe, who is following in his footsteps, craft traditional recipes with love and care to create baked goods with an unmistakable taste.

Panificio Le Origini is the pride of precious work shared side by side, day after day. Goodness comes from attention to detail and from choosing raw ingredients of the very highest quality. That is what makes what we offer unique.
