Pecorino Primo Pistachio
A delightful sheep’s milk cheese with appeal and
pistachio nuts.
A taste of this young sheep cheese will yield a
milky sweetness, slightly grassy with a smooth,
supple texture. Perhaps this is due to its two month
aging and the milk which is collected from the
Sicani Mountain of Sicily, Italy where it is made.
An added attraction and eye appeal comes from the
Sicilian pistachio found abundantly throughout the
semi-soft paste.
PISTACCHIO DI BRONTE
Sicily is the only place in Italy where pistachios are grown, and have become quite expensive due to their limited production. Pistachio cultivation in Sicily is laborious work. The trees only bear fruit every two years and are planted in areas that prevent the use of machines to harvest the fruit. The intense, full flavor and grassy aroma of Bronte pistachios comes from the mineral rich soil and the Sicilian sun and air. The pistachios have a high concentration of vitamins and protein.
Bronte pistachios are an essential ingredient in many Sicilian desserts. The pistachios are used whole or as a paste to make torroni, cassate and gelato. They are also added to various cured meats like sausages and mortadella, and chicken galantine. - Academia Barilla
