Why Is Pistachio Popular In Italy?
Ancient Romans were the first people to bring the pistachio tree's seeds to Italy from their colonies in the Middle East. At the time, they referred to the nut by its Greek name, "pistakion." However, widespread tree farming only got started in Sicily after the Arabs took control of the island during the Middle Ages. The Bronte dialect refers to pistachios by the name "fastuca," which was derived from an ancient Arabic word. Bronte was a thriving pistachio trade center by the 1700s, bringing traders from all around Italy.
This superior kind of pistachio, which has been given the names "green gold" and simply "the emerald," is cultivated in the countryside in and around the town of Bronte. The rich black volcanic soil that comes from Mount Etna, one of the most active volcanoes on the planet, has contributed to the area's reputation as a particularly fertile growing environment.
Sweet, delicate, and aromatic best describe Bronte Pistachio. The greater chlorophyll content of Bronte Pistachios, which accounts for their bright green color, is one of their key distinctions from other varieties of Pistachios. Furthermore, the flavor is considerably stronger as a result of the soil's properties, which are rich in mineral compounds as a result of the volcano's frequent lava flows.
They are obviously quite pricey. Whole stores in Sicily are devoted to selling pistachio-based goods.
