Only the cork stoppers in compliance with the strictest quality controls become the one piece cork stoppers “Selezione Molinas”. Every cork stopper is checked by our panel of technicians, skilled in the sensory analysis of the cork.

In the batches of “Selezione Molinas”, no invasive treatment is carried out in order to preserve all the best features of the one piece natural cork stopper.

In fact, the secret to get a naturally perfect product is to let it intact: it is sufficient to carefully select the best cork stoppers.

Why don’t we use an electronic nose?
The electronic nose is an excellent instrument, but it has some limits that must be taken in consideration. First of all, we have to remember that this instrument needs to be calibrate, and we have to be careful about this, repeating it cyclically, increasing the risk of error during the cork stoppers selection

We perfectly know that besides the cork taint, the cork stoppers can be affected by many other kinds of sensory deviations:mould,vanilla,roasted,wet rag and many other.

The electronic sorting machine can analyse the cork just to detect at most a defect for each analysis carried out, not only the taint due to TCA.
