Pistachio and almond pesto – Secrets of Sicily

  • How almond and pistachio pesto is produced

    This typical Sicilian pesto is produced from a pistachio and local almond base ground at very low temperatures in order to preserve the characteristics and natural aromas present in the fresh product. We then add other ingredients to the recipe, such as Frantoi Cutrera extra virgin olive oil, "Cosacavaddu" cheese, sugar, salt, black pepper and nutmeg. The pesto has intense aromatic notes of pistachio and almond. The consistency is creamy, alternating with the crunchiness of almonds and pistachios. The flavor is well balanced and intense.

  • The origin and quality of ingredients and processing

    Our Segreti di Sicilia line of preserves was born from the love for this land and its traditions, from the scents of our childhood, from our grandmother's secrets and from the rediscovery of an authentic and genuine past. Each product speaks of a specific territory, of a biodiversity that the world envies us. We choose each of them from our own crops or from our network, small and local productions and farmers who work the land with the same passion and respect as in the past. These genuine products are then transformed in our modern canning plant with the help of latest generation machinery. We use innovative cooking and preservation techniques that guarantee absolute respect for the original recipe and, at the same time, the preservation of all the organoleptic characteristics of the fresh product and its main nutritional aspects. The absence of preservatives and colorings allows you to taste a genuine product.

Further Information

Sicilian almonds are considered a super food: they represent one of the richest natural sources of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus, the very same elements that form bones and for this reason the food is a great ally in the fight against osteoporosis. Pistachios, also strictly Sicilian, are very rich in potassium and thus help keep blood pressure at bay and lower bad cholesterol levels in the blood.

Pistachio and almond pesto is a real pesto and as such it can be used on crostini, spread on pizza or used to season pasta, in particular homemade trofie and busiate. But also to accompany meat-based second courses, such as pork loin and roast. To season pasta, we recommend diluting and sautéing the pesto with a little pasta cooking water to melt the cheese and make the sauce more homogeneous.

This pesto is ideal for preparing an aromatic pasta dish. We recommend penne or trofie, if possible homemade and rustic, for an optimal result. This pesto is ready to taste as it is and you just need to dilute it in very little pasta cooking water to obtain a creamy and intense sauce.

Our pistachio and almond pesto is very similar to the traditional Trapani pesto. These types of pesto are in fact widely used in Sicily but each area has its own tasty variations. Our pesto has pistachio, almonds, extra virgin olive oil, “Cosacavaddu” cheese, sugar, salt, black pepper and nutmeg as ingredients. While the classic Trapani-style Pesto is prepared with basil, almonds, red garlic, black pepper, copper tomatoes and pecorino cheese. In some variations, pistachios are also included together with almonds (or just pistachios to replace the almonds).
