Question #1: What is Rosita Real Foods?
Mr. Svenson: Rosita Real Foods is a small family artisan company based in Norway. We handcraft natural and raw extra-virgin (extremely pure) marine oils. Our flagship product is extra-virgin cod liver oil.
The company was founded by true Norwegians and old-school fishermen who know everything about fish liver oils. We follow sustainable hand-fishing practices, using an open boat with a canopy on deck. Our oils are produced with a complete absence of chemicals and heat processing, and thus retain all their original fat-soluble nutrients and fatty acids in their natural, raw form of cod liver oil.
Question #2: Why did you create your company?
Mr. Svenson: To foster awareness of nature and how it is here to serve our health and longevity.
Question #3: How does Rosita produce its cod liver oil?
Mr. Svenson: Our oils are produced using a centuries-old and rare method that allows the fish's liver to "release" the oil it naturally contains - WITHOUT the need for heat, solvents, chemicals, distillation, or any other form of refining. This is very rare in modern industrial cod liver oil production.
The ancient people of the North Norwegian coast followed the principle of the seasons, which essentially states that when freshly caught fish is brought to the surface and the liver is removed from the fish, the change in temperature and pressure from the ocean depths to the surface causes the oil to naturally seep out of the fish's liver. The resulting golden oil is of exceptionally high quality. This is exactly what you'll find present in the "living" cod liver. (see the Production Process diagram - The Rosita Method)
Question #4: How does Rosita address the potential problem of organic pollutants?
Mr. Svenson: Everything is done with respect for nature. The entire process is carried out without the use of heat, chemicals, or vacuum. Modeling the natural process by which the ocean cleanses itself, we use a blend of polysaccharides that occur naturally on the ocean floor. It has the ability to bind with various organic pollutants and proteins, leaving the beneficial nutrients unaffected. This is a handcrafted process that requires no use of heat or chemicals and has been passed down to us by our ancestors.
