Pistachino pistachio cream spread in a 600 g glass jar with a gold lid, a large Italian jar for bakery fillings, kunafa, croissants and gelato.
A tall glass jar with a gold lid and a green quality seal over the top, and a white label showing a cluster of split pistachios and green leaves above PISTACHINO in bold green capitals with an Italian tricolour, pistachio cream spread in English and Arabic, and 600 g, 21.16 oz. The cream shows through the glass as a deep olive green. At 600 g it is a working jar for a bakery or dessert shop rather than a single breakfast table. As general background, in Italian gelato is the common word for all types of ice cream. Pistachio is typically one of the classic gelato choices. Commonly, pastry kitchens pipe it into croissants, bomboloni and eclairs, spread it under kunafa and over basbousa, fold it into whipped cream and mascarpone for cake fillings, ripple it through gelato and soft serve, and drizzle it over pancakes, waffles and cheesecake. Cafes also blend a spoonful into iced milk drinks. The back label advises keeping it in a cool and dry environment away from light and heat sources, so store the jar in a dry cupboard with the lid tight, and stir well before each use.
