“If you want pistachios, then only from Bronte… point, exclamation mark and basta!” Real mineral green pistachios with a red shell result in a brown paste when pureed… A plant that was already known to the ancient Jews and was cultivated by them as a precious fruit , was discovered by the Arabs in the mid-nineteenth century. The term “A’ Frastuca” is the Sicilian dialect name for pistachio, derived from the Arabic term “Frastuca”. The Arabs snatched Sicily from the Byzantines, they promoted the cultivation of pistachios in Sicily, they found on this wonderful island, especially on the slopes of Mount Etna, the natural habitat for a lush and peculiar development of the plant, which in 2009 received the Protected Designation of Origin (DOP) received. Our “Bronte” is our vegan version of our pistachio gelato.
