Il Siciliano Sicilian Pistachio Pesto

A green, bittersweet pesto that takes your pasta out of its routine

You know basil pesto by heart. This one starts from pistachio: a deep green, a grainy texture and a fruity smell as soon as you open the jar. The large 560 g size leaves you plenty to use everywhere.

What you will taste

• Texture: slightly grainy, with small flakes that crunch to the bite.
• Aromas: fruity and earthy, those of freshly shelled pistachio.
• Taste: bittersweet at first, then round, with a vegetal note that lingers.

How to use it

• On just-drained rigatoni or trofie, with a drizzle of olive oil and a few crushed pistachios.
• On a bruschetta, under a creamy burrata.
• As a white pizza base, with thin slices of mortadella placed on after baking.

Where it comes from

As its name announces, Il Siciliano puts Sicilian pistachio at the center of the jar. On the island, pistachio finds its way into pasta as well as desserts: this pesto makes it an everyday condiment.
