About
Our vision
A VISION. Transforming abandoned fields into fields of YELLOW flowers, the buzz of BEES, butterflies, and ladybugs upon them. Rediscovering ancient recipes in a NEW FORM. Changing the perception of sauces in the gastronomic landscape from “an element that alters the flavor” to a harmonious element, a FLAVOR ENHANCER. Turning a forgotten product into an ARTISANAL EXCELLENCE. Allowing people to “CHEW THE WINE.” A vision. a BURNING EXPLOSION, first in the mind as an idea, then on the palate as a sauce. Impossible?
The story of Mosto Ardente began in 2020, closed in our space, we started to imagine how to give new life to a small village and lands now abandoned, how to introduce a resilient and environmentally beneficial crop. From another perspective, the product study: a cocktail of elements from our Alta Langa, capable of enhancing traditional Piedmontese cuisine as well as fusion or daring dishes… The choice of mustard was sudden and accidental, just as the right choices often are. From that moment, months of experiments, creations, recipes. The desire to have a short and complete supply chain from field to jar led to the creation of our production workshop, where the stone mill is the beating heart of Mosto Ardente.

Who we are
Alexander the Great
Elisa
Paolo
An Alexander the Great rock star, a bit like Jim Morrison, with sunglasses (two mustard seeds) unknowingly became our ambassador: legend has it that the commander, before the decisive battle with Darius of Persia, received from him a large sack of sesame seeds representing the vastness of his army, as an invitation to surrender. Alexander replied with a small sack with just a few mustard seeds to say that his men, though few in number, were much stronger than their opponents… he won the battle.
Creative soul, architect of every evolution, color, inspiration. From the first mortar with a few mustard seeds planted in the garden to the delusions of omnipotence, always at every moment. Essential.
Before: globetrotting architect, cooperation, research, university. Beauty. Horses, run and yoga, music and silence.
Dream, enterprise, utopia, transformation. The bond with the land of Maccaferro to carry on your shoulders. The bond with the land, period, understood as a world of ideas without borders. Lab: inventing a recipe like this. Mustard.
Before: adventures, cooperation, experiments, years in Haiti, years in Morocco. Education: international political science as a drive for change. Music, yoga, friendship.
