Store the coffee in a dry, cool place away from sunlight. After opening, always reseal the pouch carefully to preserve its aroma for as long as possible.

What does “roasted in small batches” mean?

Pilessavio coffees are roasted in carefully monitored batches of around 10 kg. This allows each roasting batch to receive dedicated attention.

Why is small-batch roasting important?

Smaller roasting batches allow greater control over temperature, timing and roast development. Our goal is a balanced, consistent and refined flavour profile.

How is roasting quality checked?

The roasting process is monitored against predefined parameters, and the finished coffee is then checked both visually and sensorially.

What is Lion’s Mane?

Its botanical name is Hericium erinaceus. It is a mushroom species that is easy to recognise by its distinctive white, cascading appearance.

Is Lion’s Mane the only mushroom in Pilessavio?

Yes. We consciously keep our recipe simple: rather than combining many different mushrooms, we focus on one selected ingredient - Lion’s Mane extract.

Is Pilessavio a dietary supplement?

No. Pilessavio is a whole-bean coffee product made to be part of your daily coffee ritual.

Does Pilessavio make any health or performance claims about Lion’s Mane?

No. We focus on transparent ingredients, the origin of our raw materials and a genuine coffee experience.

Will the coffee taste like mushrooms because of Lion’s Mane?

No. Pilessavio is designed to be coffee-led: the familiar taste and aroma of coffee remain at the centre of the experience.

Which part of the Lion’s Mane mushroom do you use?

Pilessavio’s Lion’s Mane extract is made from the fruiting body of the mushroom.

What is a fruiting body?

The fruiting body is the visible part of the mushroom that grows above the cultivation substrate. In the case of Lion’s Mane, it is the distinctive white, cascading mushroom.

Does Pilessavio use mycelium?

No. The Lion’s Mane extract used for Pilessavio is made from the fruiting body, not from a mycelium-based raw material.

Where does Lion’s Mane come from?

Our Lion’s Mane raw material comes from verified European cultivation.

Why is European sourcing important?

Verified European sourcing supports better traceability, more reliable supply chains and a more considered selection of raw materials.

Why is transparent ingredient sourcing important to you?

Because premium quality is about more than the taste of coffee. The origin of the raw materials, a clear recipe and knowing exactly what goes into every bag matter just as much to us.

Is Pilessavio’s packaging really 100% home compostable?

Yes. We selected our packaging so that, under appropriate home-composting conditions, it can break down rather than remain as conventional plastic waste after use.

What does “home compostable” mean?

“Home compostable” means that the packaging is designed to break down in a household composting environment.

Will the pouch break down if I simply leave it in the garden?

Not necessarily. Home compostability does not mean that the pouch will disappear by itself if it is simply left in the garden. Proper breakdown requires adequate moisture, airflow, temperature and regular turning of the compost.

Are the ink and adhesive also part of the compostable packaging system?

Yes. When assessing compostability, not only the pouch’s main material matters, but the complete packaging system, including the ink, adhesive and other components used.

Does the compostable packaging preserve the freshness of the coffee?

Yes. We selected the packaging to provide appropriate protection for the coffee and help preserve its aroma and quality until use.
