If it is not made with Mugo pinecones it is not Mugolio. It is just pinecone syrup.

We agree!

I heard you don’t wash the pinecones by multiple foragers bc you want that yeast fermentation

Great point and question. When we made ours, we simply rinsed with luke warm water to remove dust and debris that were on the green cones from being outside. This worked for us. For sure, we would not recommend “washing” with soap or even very hot water. As you point out…need to keep those yeast happy!
