MammaRita Lab
Dedicated to Rita. Because every good thing has a name.
Flavors of home
Mamma Rita, Le Calandre's first chef and a passionate pastry chef, instilled in Massimiliano a philosophy of simplicity, attentiveness to ingredients, and naturalness. Thanks to her teachings and example, Max has built his own grammar of taste.
From this legacy, MammaRita Lab was born. Opened in 2018 in Rubano, a few steps from Le Calandre, it is the Alajmo Group's production center, an ecosystem where research, development, and craftsmanship coexist. It is a space designed to supply all the establishments with sweet and savory preparations and where the line of leavened products based on lightness, naturalness, and the exaltation of flavor comes to life.
"Mom always said that cooking is made of little things."

The expression of taste
MammaRita Lab's preparations reflect the philosophy and experience of Max and his chefs, guided by research and experimentation with the aim of authentically expressing flavors.
The work is based on respect for the ingredients and their natural rhythms, through slow and controlled processes that enhance their aromas and textures.
The pursuit of lightness has led, in some preparations, to the use of extra virgin olive oil instead of butter, with essential and recognizable ingredients, without colorings, preservatives, or hydrogenated fats.
Cookies, sweet focaccias, soft cakes, and dry cakes. These creations are born and take shape from Massimiliano's recipes.
Max's imagination creates savory snacks, crackers, and breadsticks, perfect for accompanying aperitifs, and sweet snacks for more indulgent snacks.

"The kitchen must strip itself of the unnecessary to rediscover the same innocence that a child has in telling the story of his little world."
