Tips & Secrets

  • Blanching the pistachios before grinding is the absolute secret to achieving the traditional professional-grade vibrant green color.
  • Using full-fat buffalo milk provide the essential professional balance of creaminess and density.
  • Ensure the pistachio paste is very fine; a gritty texture will ruin the sophisticated professional-grade mouthfeel.
  • Store in a dry airtight container inside the freezer to maintain the signature professional-grade freshness.
