Salted pistachios

Description

The Akbari pistachios from Orient Kontor impress with their exceptional size, fine aroma, and distinctive crunchiness. They are among the noblest pistachio varieties in Iran and are characterized by their elongated shape and pleasantly mild, slightly sweet taste. Thanks to the gentle roasting with salt, they develop an especially intense aroma and become a unique taste experience – ideal for snacking, sharing, or as a refined ingredient in the kitchen.

The origin of our pistachios plays a crucial role: They come from the Damghan region in northeastern Iran, which is known for its excellent growing conditions. The combination of a dry climate, mineral-rich soils, and plenty of sunshine creates the ideal environment for cultivating high-quality pistachios. In Damghan, pistachio farming has a long-standing tradition, passed down from generation to generation. The trees grow slowly and naturally, and the harvest is done by hand with great respect for nature.

Pistachios hold a special place in Iran. They are an integral part of Persian food culture – whether at festive occasions, casual gatherings, or as a sign of hospitality. As a snack or served with tea, fruit, or desserts, they are almost indispensable. The Akbari variety is considered one of the most popular and is often offered to guests – as a symbol of appreciation and generosity.
