/ Our magazine / Pistachio: eight products between sweet and savory.
Among the top ten pistachio producers worldwide, after countries like the United States, Greece, and Spain, we also find Italy: our beautiful country hosts numerous and prized varieties of Pistacia vera, the tree from which pistachios are obtained, characterizing the landscapes of Bronte and Adrano (in the province of Catania) but also of Raffadali (DOP pistachio cultivated in the province of Agrigento) and the municipality of Stigliano, in Basilicata. The latter has been a renowned production center in Europe for pistachio processing since 1990, imported locally from Greece thanks to farmer Innocenzo Colangelo.
In 2018, almost four thousand tons of pistachios were produced in total on national territory, then processed and destined for the most disparate uses: consumed roasted and salted or included in more elaborate recipes, pistachios are a green delight to encounter at the table, whether among main courses or within appetizers and desserts.
Among the Emilian cured meats, mortadella stands out for its long production tradition, which can even be traced back to Roman times.
Although the addition of pistachio does not seem to be documented during the times of the Latins, its use is warmly welcomed in the production regulations that protect IGP and other designations of origin, adding zest and crunchiness to the sliced meat: if you are a lover of nuts combined with meat, you must absolutely explore the delicious flavors contained in this BIO-branded product, provided by the renowned Salumificio Pedrazzoli and perfect to purchase for use in catering.
The intense flavor of pesto is always welcomed in a first course: for those who want to create a main dish inspired by the goodness of nuts, with just the addition of salt and pepper, the pistachio and almond pesto from Nasonte Special Food could be the perfect sauce to create something truly special: should the almonds be too much, within our shop you will also find the simple pistachio version, made of 75% pistachio flour.
If you are undecided on the type of pasta to pair with this condiment, we invite you to choose trofie or fusilli: here you will find our selection of pastas to place in your cart along with your pistachio pesto!
Sweet proposals, as we know, tease the appetite, as do the pistachio cookies packaged by the Vicentine pastry shop in Contrà Pescaria: located in the city center, the historic shop of Leopoldo and Giovanni Ferracina has been offering a wide selection of treats for over sixty years, among which we invite you to try the pistachio-rich Megevan shortbread, with whole nuts included in the dough.
From Forno Rinaldi, on the other hand, are the pistachio delis, delicious to pair with coffee, chocolate, and even wine.
Pancakes, waffles, or filled croissants certainly gain an extra touch if decorated with a generous spoonful of pistachio cream: while browsing through the offerings of our online shop, you will encounter at least three delicacies ready to enhance your snacks or make your breakfast special.
We present to you the pistachio cream from Agrimontana, obtained from the Piedmontese company using traditional methods and techniques: derived from a selection of pistachios from the Feudo di San Biagio, a Grand Cru with a unique flavor located in the valley of the Platani River (Sicily), this cream is recommended for creating high-class pastry products, for making exceptional ice creams, or as an out-of-the-box ingredient for risottos and savory preparations.
Queens of taste are also the pistachio creams lovingly packaged by Mamma Mia!, which uses Bronte DOP pistachios and includes a substantial 40% of nuts in the preparation, as well as the pistachio cream from Nasonte Special Food, an organic company whose specialties we have already invited you to try.
