VALUE OF GREEK PISTACHIOS
The Greece’s dry climate, it’s poor soil composition and the proximity to the sea, give pistachios trees excellent conditions to flourish and to produce pistachio nuts with extraordinary taste and fine quality.
Many European countries import large quantities of Greece pistachio variety which has boosted the local economy.
With a sweeter taste than its American and Iranian counterparts, the Greek pistachio is traditionally used as a crust for chicken, fish, or feta; soaked in honey and spooned over fresh yogurt; baked into syrupy desserts; ground and stuffed into sausages.
