100% Pure Pistachio Paste

The 100% pure pistachio paste is a versatile and precious ingredient in the kitchen, thanks to its intense and natural flavor. Here are some ideas on how to use it effectively:

• Ice creams and semifreddos:
o Mix the pistachio paste into the base for ice cream or semifreddo (usually custard, cream, and milk). Use between 50 g and 100 g of paste per liter of base, depending on the desired intensity.
• Filling creams:
o Add pistachio paste to custard, chantilly cream, buttercream, or mascarpone for a rich and authentic-tasting filling. Use about 50-80 g for every 500 g of cream.
• Cakes and cookies:
o Incorporate it into batter for cakes, muffins, or cookies. Mix the pistachio paste with liquid ingredients (like butter or eggs) to ensure even distribution.

• Panettone and croissants:
o Enrich the dough for panettone, brioche, or croissants with a small amount of pistachio paste, or use it as a filling after baking.
• Braids or sweet focaccia:
o Spread a thin layer of pistachio paste before baking for a unique aroma.

• Pistachio and white chocolate spread:
o Combine pure pistachio paste with melted white chocolate and a bit of cocoa butter to create a sweet spreadable cream.
• Sugar-free pistachio cream:
o Mix the paste with a natural sweetener (like honey) and a bit of milk or cream for a lighter version.

• Sauces and condiments:
o Add it to pasta sauces, such as pistachio pesto, by mixing it with olive oil, Parmesan, garlic, and basil.
• Marinades:
o Use it as a base for marinating white meats or fish, mixing it with yogurt or olive oil.
• Risottos:
o Blend pistachio paste into risotto during the final stage with butter and Parmesan for a creamy and flavorful dish.

• Toppings for desserts:
o Use pure pistachio paste as a topping for sweets, drizzling it over cheesecakes, mousses, or cupcakes.
• Glaze:
o Mix it with powdered sugar and a little water or milk to create a colorful and flavorful glaze.

• Dilution: Pistachio paste is very concentrated. It can be diluted with cream, milk, or other liquid ingredients for a more balanced flavor.
• Quantity: Start with small amounts (10-20 g for every 100 g of preparation) and increase according to your taste preference.
• Storage: Once opened, store the paste in an airtight jar in a cool, dry place. If the natural pistachio oil separates, stir well before use.
