Di Bartolo is a leading company that has been processing fresh and dried fruit into top-quality ingredient solutions for the gelato, beverage, bakery and confectionery industries for the last 70 years. One of its most outstanding products is certainly the “Green Pistachio of Bronte D.O.P” Paste.
The Bronte pistachio is the signature fruit of Sicily, and of the city of Bronte in particular, which lies on the slopes of Mount Etna. This variety stands out from other pistachio varieties grown elsewhere in the region because of its distinctive shape, colour nuances and organoleptic properties. The Bronte pistachio, which was awarded D.O.P. (Denominazione di Origine Protetta – Protected Designation of Origin, P.D.O.) status by the EU in 2009, is highly prized and is also known as ‘Green Gold’.
This delicious fruit is only grown near volcanic soils in the municipalities of Bronte, Adrano and Biancavilla. The special soil in this region, along with variable weather and marked temperature fluctuations, is what gives the “Pistacchio di Bronte D.O.P.” a striking purple and emerald green hue on the outside, an elongated shape and a unique taste.
To this day, in keeping with tradition and to ensure a higher quality product, Bronte pistachios are harvested only once every two years so that the plant has time to rest and regenerate.
The Bronte pistachio has not only sensory properties, but also remarkable organoleptic properties; in fact, it is packed with nutrients and monounsaturated fats that help regulate blood cholesterol levels. The Di Bartolo pistachio paste is exclusively plant-based, and its unique, delicate and aromatic taste brings out the nuances of flavour of any preparation in the food industry.
Di Bartolo offers solutions that are tailored to the needs of companies that want to break into the market. Its distinguishing feature is its ability to customise products in order to meet specific customer requirements, making it a partner of choice for companies seeking unparalleled high-quality products.
