In the Dagali district of Bronte, Sicily, we source our pistachios and their products from a small, traditional family business who manually gather them from verdant patches on the otherwise rocky, desert like terrain formed from lava. These green islands of vegetation are rich in minerals, nurturing the trees that produce this unique pistachio; coloured a vibrant green and with a sweeter, creamier and deeper flavour than the varieties found elsewhere. The family provide these dried and also turn them into a range of delicious savoury and sweet products, unrivalled in flavour, colour and quality. Sicilian Pistachio Pesto This versatile, nutty pesto is a completely natural product boasting a generous 80% of Sicilian pistachio nuts, sunflower oil and salt and pepper - that’s it, no preservatives, colourings or filler. This can be paired simply with pasta, as a companion to meat or fish, as a luxury sandwich filling or spread on a pizza and used in baking. Not as sharp a taste as regular pesto, its sweeter, more subtle flavour and creamier character can be made more savoury by the addition of pancetta or lightly sweetened with a touch of honey. Can also be blended to create new flavours by mixing with a creamy ricotta salata or swirled into spicy chilli sauce. This pesto is perfect for vegans.
