Why Is Gaziantep Pistachio the World's Best?

Gaziantep, located in southeastern Turkey, is the world leader in pistachio cultivation. But what lies behind this leadership?
Gaziantep's semi-arid climate — with hot summers and cool nights — provides exactly the conditions a pistachio tree needs. The mineral-rich limestone soils give the pistachio its distinctive aroma.
Pistachio cultivation in Gaziantep has a history of over 2,000 years. This long heritage has given local farmers knowledge that simply cannot be acquired elsewhere — from when to water each tree to the precise timing of the harvest.
We have been growing the produce of these lands in our own orchards for over 50 years. Rather than purchasing raw materials from the market, we manage every step from seed to harvest ourselves — giving us end-to-end quality control.
When choosing a pistachio, origin matters. Gaziantep-sourced, harvested from one's own orchard — when all of this comes together, the result is a genuinely exceptional flavour.
While many products on the market contain less than 5% pistachio, we explain why we use a minimum of 30%.
Critical points to consider when selecting pistachio cream for ice cream, pastry and chocolate producers.
