Scyavuru pistachio cream in a 200 g glass jar, a soft green Sicilian-branded spread for croissants, crepes, cakes and dessert fillings.
A squat glass jar with a black screw lid, a pale olive-green label scattered with whole pistachios and green crumbs, and Pistachio Cream in chunky cartoon letters across a white wave. Above it sits the Scyavuru emblem with the line storie di gusti e sapori di Sicilia, roughly stories of the tastes and flavours of Sicily, which tells you where the brand places itself. Through the glass the cream shows a soft sage colour. As general background, pistachios are used in desserts, chocolate, candy and ice cream, and also as a paste or butter, which is exactly the territory a spread like this covers. Commonly, cafes warm a spoonful and pipe it into split croissants and cornetti, spread it over crepes and pancakes, and drizzle it across cheesecake, layered dessert cups and vanilla gelato. Pastry chefs fold it into whipped cream for a quick pistachio filling, sandwich it between cookies, or swirl it through brownie batter before baking. A 200 g jar typically suits a cafe counter or home kitchen. Stir before use, scrape with a clean spoon, and keep the jar closed at room temperature.
