Pistachios Persian Style

Description

The Akbari pistachios Persian style from Orient Kontor impress with their exceptional size, special seasoning, and distinctive crunchiness. Akbari pistachios are among the noblest pistachio varieties in Iran and are characterized by their elongated shape and pleasantly mild, slightly sweet taste.

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.

The refinement with salt, citric acid, and saffron Persian style gives the pistachios a special touch. The salt intensifies the nutty aroma, while the citric acid provides a pleasant freshness. The fine saffron rounds off the flavor and gives the pistachios a light, spicy sweetness – a perfect balance that makes snacking a true delight.

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.
