Enjoyment & Freshness
At tibits, enjoyment is at the heart of everything. Every dish we develop must first meet our high standards for taste and freshness.
We prepare our salads and hot dishes several times a day and continuously restock the buffet with them. We also press our juices fresh daily, using market-fresh ingredients that are sourced as seasonally, regionally, and sustainably as possible.
Seasonality & The Environment
Seasonality plays a major role both in taste and for our environment—two good reasons to prioritize it! Our kitchen team puts together our rotating buffet so that we can source vegetables, fruits, and berries sun-ripened and fresh from Switzerland or nearby Europe.
We avoid overseas products when good local alternatives are available. The exception: exotic fruits and vegetables that can't be sourced in Europe or Africa. To offset this, we reduce air transport and long shipping routes by consolidating our logistics strategically.
Organic & Quality
The vast majority of our breads, pastries, and animal products such as dairy, cheese, and free-range eggs are deliberately of organic or Demeter quality. As a rule, we use organic products wherever they convince us in terms of quality and taste, and where they're available in the quantities we need.
We use only the finest olive and rapeseed oils, whose beneficial omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids make an important contribution to a healthy diet. Naturally, we also avoid genetically modified foods and glutamates.
In our kitchens, we primarily use Swiss rock salt from the Jura, without added iodine or fluoride. At the buffet, in the salt mill, you'll find coarse sea salt from France.Thanks to long-standing relationships with trusted producers and suppliers, we're able to guarantee excellent quality. Many of them produce specific products just for us, such as tofu or seitan.
