A Neapolitan chef's obsession
Most bakeries use pistachio
as a flavor.
We use it as a philosophy.
Pistacchio is not a chain. It's the work of one Neapolitan chef who refused to pretend that imported pre-made cream is the same as the real thing.
Everything on the counter is baked here every morning, before we open at 8:00 am (8:30 on Sunday), and every cornetto is folded by hand.
From a volcano in Sicily,
to a counter in Miami.
Bronte sits at the foot of Mount Etna. Its volcanic soil grows the world's most prized pistachio — Pistacchio Verde di Bronte DOP, harvested by hand every two years.
Volcanic soil
The mineral profile of Etna gives Bronte pistachios their unique perfume and bright green color.
Hand-harvested
Picked one cluster at a time, every other year, from trees that take 12 years to fruit.
DOP protected
Denominazione di Origine Protetta — only pistachios from Bronte can carry the seal.
1,000-year heritage
Pistachio cultivation in Bronte dates back to the Arab rule of Sicily in the 9th century.
