Place
The pistachios that make this pesto come from the slopes of Mount Etna. The volcanic basalt soil and the dry Mediterranean summer create conditions that produce pistachios with a more intense flavor and a deeper green color than pistachios grown anywhere else in the world. The region has been growing them for over a thousand years.

Process
Three ingredients. Pistachios (60%), extra virgin olive oil, and salt. Cold-processed to preserve the oil in the pistachio kernel. No stabilizers, no cashews, no filler. The result is a pesto that tastes like the pistachio itself, not a product that contains some pistachio.

People
We found this pesto because we were looking for a single product that could summarize what Sicilian food is: intense, uncompromising, and built around one remarkable ingredient. Three ingredients is the answer to everything that has been added to pistachio products that does not belong there.

Questions

  • What are the three ingredients?
    Pistachios (60%), extra virgin olive oil, and salt. That is the complete list.
  • Where do the pistachios come from?
    The pistachios come from the slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily. The volcanic soil and dry Mediterranean climate produce pistachios with a more intense flavor than those grown elsewhere.
  • Is it nut-free?
    No. It contains pistachios. If you have a nut allergy, this product is not suitable.
  • Is it vegan?
    Yes. The ingredients are pistachios, extra virgin olive oil, and salt. No dairy, no animal products.
  • What pasta shape does it go with?
    Rigatoni and penne catch the sauce well. Spaghetti and linguine also work. The pesto is thick, so use a splash of pasta water to loosen it before tossing.
  • How long does it last after opening?
    Refrigerate after opening and use within 5 days.
  • Does it contain gluten?
    No. The three ingredients are pistachios, extra virgin olive oil, and salt. None contain gluten.
  • Can I use it on bruschetta?
    Yes. It works well as a spread on grilled bread, stirred into ricotta as a dip, or as a base for bruschetta with fresh mozzarella.
