Mattia Pariani—well-known Italian hazelnut purveyor—traveled south to Sicily to bring us these prized pistachios grown on the fertile, mineral-rich slopes of Mt. Etna, near the village of Bronte. These pistachios are known for their delicate sweet aroma, vibrant green color and concentrated pistachio flavor.
Mattia and his team source their Siclian pistachios from small farmers in the region and then bring them up to their facilities in Piedmont, Italy to process them. They then shell the pistachios—leaving their brilliant purple skins—and roughly chop them into baking-or-garnishing-ready pieces.
