10 years of the Filigrano Collection: Tartelettes with are HUG’s Success Story
HUG FOOD SERVICE is celebrating a special anniversary: for the past 10 years, the Swiss Tartelettes manufacturer has been delighting customers both at home and abroad with butter Tartelettes from the ‘Filigrano Collection’. What started as an attempt to create the Tartelette with the thinnest wall has become a wide range of 35 different products, from sweet to savoury, from classic to unusual shapes and flavours. A variety as filigree as its name.
HUG’s success is rooted in decades of expertise. The company’s ‘Classic Line’ has been hugely popular since as far back as 1970. Such expertise, combined with state-of-the-art precision technology that is being developed constantly, laid the groundwork for the Filigrano Collection.
What was developed in the quiet village of Malters (LU) opened doors to the wider world. Today, HUG exports its Tartelettes to more than 30 countries. They are served in 4- and 5-star hotels, filled in artistic ways in Michelin-starred restaurants, enjoyed aboard airlines and cruise ships, and elegantly presented at countless events and in numerous bakeries.
Filigrano Tartelettes represent the finest art of Swiss baking. Their straight, remarkably thin walls and unmistakably buttery flavour make them unique. They are made exclusively from high-quality Swiss ingredients in one of Switzerland’s most modern baking facilities.
In response to changing dietary habits, the range has evolved continuously. Whilst butter Tartelettes remain at the heart of the Filigrano range, the Filigrano Collection now also includes three vegan alternatives.
HUG proudly looks back on 10 years of Filigrano Tartelettes.
About HUG
A Five‑Generation Legacy of Swiss Baking Excellence
With more than five generations of expertise, the HUG family has built a reputation for combining traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation. The story began in 1877 in a small bakery in Lucerne, where founder Joseph Hug‑Meyer created the original HUG Zwieback and set the foundation for a brand defined by quality and authenticity.
Today, HUG continues to uphold this heritage while evolving with contemporary culinary trends. Their products are made using carefully selected raw materials, including 100% Swiss butter, ensuring consistent premium quality across their entire range.
Designed for efficiency and precision, HUG’s ready‑to‑use pastry solutions support chefs by reducing preparation time and allowing them to focus on creativity and presentation. Now employing more than 430 people across their Malters and Willisau sites, Hug remains a proudly family‑owned Swiss company who is committed to excellence since 1877.
