Why "Mosto"
Only our company produces the exclusive Mosto oil. This oil is obtained by the first pressing of the olives. After the centrifuge phase no more filtration is carried out, leading to the cloudy colour. Filtered oil is different to Mosto oil in terms of transparency and clarity.
However, there are good reasons not to filter this extra pure oil. The oil is composed of 300 different substances, which together make up the chemical, organic and nutritional richness of the Mosto oil and give the oil its special flavour.
The oil contains a certain proportion of sap (0.25%), part of which is water-soluble. This small percentage is emulsified in the oil and gives Mosto oil its milky, opaque character. The oil contains water-soluble substances such as vitamins.
Filtration of the oil only leads to the loss of valuable substances. For this reason our oil no longer undergoes the filtration process.
In some cases the Mosto oil can change colour over time i.e. the colour changes and the oil becomes clear. This is a natural phenomenon caused by unexpected different temperatures in the storage areas.
The accumulation of olive flesh at the bottom of the bottle is a characteristic of the Mosto oil and a sign of the uniqueness of the product.
