Our shelled Pistachio di Bronte DOP is irresistible! With an unmistakable color and aroma!

Our Shelled Pistachio di Bronte DOP can be consumed without the need for further cooking or processing, as a snack or aperitif, but thanks to its aroma and quality it has always been a main element of Sicilian pastry making and cuisine in general. It is traditionally used by pastry chefs in the city of Bronte as an ingredient for ice creams, pastries, creams and liqueurs, or the tasty "pistachio cake" with chocolate-filled sponge cake. It is also the protagonist of first and second courses, which are increasingly popular in restaurant menus.

Property:

In addition to its uniform green color and marked aroma, Green Pistachio di Bronte PDO owes its peculiarity to numerous nutritional properties: it contains vitamin A and is rich in iron, phosphorus and phenolic substances, elements that promote the strengthening of defenses and well-being of the organism.

Plant:

The plant of our Bronte Pistachio PDO is very resistant to drought, it is a long-lived plant that lives for 200 to 300 years. It has a very slow development and can only produce about ten years after its grafting. It flowers between April and May. The seed is single and elongated, light green in color, rich in oil and proteins.

The fruit is harvested every two years and is done in odd years, between the end of August and the beginning of September, by hand, dropping the fruit into a container carried on the shoulder or with the aid of tarpaulins or nets. This is followed by the phase of removing the husk, peeling and drying in the sun for a few days.
