LaSelva Toskana Feinkost Vertriebs GmbH

What LaSelva Toskana Feinkost Vertriebs GmbH does

LaSelva Toskana Feinkost Vertriebs GmbH is the German distribution entity of the LaSelva group, a 1980-founded Tuscan organic fine-food producer headquartered in Gräfelfing near Munich, with affiliated agricultural and manufacturing operations in Albinia-Orbetello in the Maremma region of Italy (LaSelva s.a r.l.u., IT-BIO-006 certified). The company sources from its own organic fields and operates an on-site artisanal manufactory that produces over 250 certified organic specialty items — including bronze-die extruded pasta (Trafilatura al bronzo), 14 pesto varieties, tomato products, three extra-virgin olive oils, balsamic and condimento vinegars, an estate-grown Tuscan wine range, antipasti, legumes, citrus preserves, coffee, and traditional pastries. Notable technical components include the bronze-die pasta extrusion process, complete field-to-product traceability, and a layered certification stack (EU-organic DE-ÖKO-005 / IT-BIO-006, EMAS DE-155-00380, Naturland Fair, EU-Öko wine regulation, Öko-Test endorsement).

The business runs a hybrid go-to-market model. Direct-to-consumer revenue is generated through the owned laselva.bio storefront shipping to Germany and Austria, supplemented by walk-in retail at the Gräfelfing headquarters and agriturismo stays at the Italian estate. Wholesale revenue flows through a DACH-wide network of organic and natural-food wholesalers (Weiling, Bio-Partner, Kornkraft, Naturkost Süd, etc.), listing in major organic retail chains (Alnatura, Dennree, Biocompany, Superbiomarkt, Vollcorner), and presence on third-party organic marketplaces. A B2B portal at b2b.laselva.bio serves trade partners, and marketing relies on a 100+-recipe content platform, newsletter campaigns, organic social, SEO, and BioFach trade-show presence. Pricing is unit-based (per kg/L) across a range from ~€1.85 to ~€89.95; payment processing spans PayPal, Visa/Mastercard via Unzer, eps, SOFORT/Klarna, giropay, and invoice, with DHL GoGreen shipping at a €5.95 flat rate (DE) / €14.95 (AT) and a €25 minimum order. The German entity is privately held by managing directors Peter Hüller and Andreas Englmeier, with 9 listed employees and no disclosed external investors.
