Most products on supermarket shelves labelled "pistachio cream" contain surprisingly little actual pistachio. So what does real pistachio cream look like?
The pistachio content of a cream directly affects both its flavour and nutritional value. The difference between a cream with 5% pistachio and one with 30% is immediately noticeable when you taste it.
At Pistachiantep, all our creams contain a minimum of 30% real Antep pistachio. In our pistachio paste this rises to 70%, and in our pistachio puree to 100%.
The process works like this:
• Harvest: Fresh pistachios collected from our own orchards
• Sorting: Every nut passes individual quality control
• Processing: Low-temperature processing preserves the aroma
• Blending: Pistachio ratio is precisely calibrated
When buying a pistachio cream, read the ingredients list. Is there real pistachio in it — and how much? This simple question will save you from many disappointments.
The unique climate, soil composition, and centuries-old cultivation tradition of Gaziantep elevate Antep pistachio above global standards.
Critical points to consider when selecting pistachio cream for ice cream, pastry and chocolate producers.
