Pisttella crema al pistacchio in a 190 g glass jar with a silver lid, a smooth pistachio spread for pastries, kunafa, crepes and gelato.
A small glass jar with a brushed silver lid embossed with a sketch of pistachio leaves and nuts, sealed with a paper strip printed PISTTELLA. The white label repeats the leaf emblem in a dark circle and reads crema al pistacchio in Italian with the Arabic name beneath, a small Italian flag at the side and a net weight of 6.7 oz, 190 g. The cream itself is a pale green-beige and visibly smooth. As general background, world pistachio production reached 1.4 million tonnes in 2024, with the United States, Iran and Turkey together accounting for 87 percent. A spread like this is typically how pistachio reaches the dessert counter in its easiest form. Commonly, pastry cooks warm a spoonful and pipe it into croissants and doughnuts, drizzle it over kunafa, basbousa and crepes, ripple it through vanilla ice cream, spread it between layers of sponge, and stir a little into milk drinks and lattes. It also works as a dip for strawberries. The 190 g jar suits a home kitchen or a small cafe. Break the seal strip only when you start the jar, stir well, and keep the lid closed at room temperature.
