English to Italian: Il mosto
General field: Other
Detailed field: Cooking / Culinary
Source text - English
Mosto, or "must" as it is called in English, is the juice extracted from pressed grapes before it undergoes fermentation. Must contains about 65%-85% water and 10%-30% sugar and, when fermented, turns into wine. Concentrated must, which contains about 50%-60% sugar, is obtained by heating the must in special containers under reduced pressure until reduced to roughly a third of its volume. When concentrated must is cooked over direct heat to eliminate the water content, you obtain mosto cotto, or cooked must. Because of the partial caramelization that direct heat entails, mosto cotto has a very distinctive sweet taste, and is used in making Marsala and in cooking savory and sweet dishes. For example, mostacciolo is the name of a biscuit made with flour and mosto cotto, whose recipe dates back to Roman times. You will find different versions of mostaccioli in a number of Italian regions: in Abruzzo they produce a particularly rich, chocolate-coated version made with almonds, honey, and cinnamon, in Emilia candied peel is added to the dough, while pepper is one of the ingredients in the mostaccioli of Lazio.
Translation - Italian
Il mosto (must in inglese) è il succo estratto dalla spremitura dell’uva prima di essere sottoposto a fermentazione. Il mosto contiene tra il 65% e l’85% di acqua e tra il 10% e il 30% di zucchero, e si trasforma in vino in seguito a fermentazione. Il mosto concentrato, che contiene tra il 50% e il 60% di zucchero, si ottiene scaldando il mosto in contenitori speciali a pressione ridotta finchè non si riduce a circa un terzo del suo volume. Quando il mosto concentrato viene sottoposto a calore diretto per eliminare l’acqua, si ottiene il mosto cotto. Poichè il calore diretto fa parzialmente caramellare lo zucchero, il mosto cotto ha un gusto dolce molto pronunciato, e viene utilizzato nella produzione del Marsala, oltre che nella preparazione di piatti salati e dolci. Per esempio, un tipo di biscotto che contiene farina e mosto cotto, la cui ricetta risale ai tempi degli antichi Romani, viene chiamato mostacciolo. I mostaccioli si trovano in versioni differenti in varie regioni italiane: in Abruzzo ne viene prodotta una versione particolarmente ricca, contenente mandorle, miele e cannella e ricoperta di cioccolato; in Emilia si aggiungono all’impasto scorze di agrumi candite, mentre il pepe è uno degli ingredienti dei mostaccioli prodotti nel Lazio.
