About this product
Pistachio butter is the fancy one on the shelf, and it knows it. We roast shelled pistachios gently and grind them into a thick paste that keeps a hint of the nut's green tinge, giving a colour you do not see in other spreads.
The flavour is rich, sweet and a little resinous, with a savoury edge from the pinch of salt that stops it from being cloying. The texture is creamy but slightly looser than a peanut butter, and it gets a few tiny flecks from the nut skins.
Spoon it onto warm toast with a few slices of fig, or swirl it through yoghurt. In baking it works in shortbread, thumbprint biscuits and cakes. Loosened with a bit of cream, it makes an excellent sauce for ice cream or a tart filling.
Pistachios are a premium nut, and this jar reflects that in the price. It is an easy way to add a different flavour to your pantry. As always, check the label for allergens, and stir the jar before use if oil has risen to the surface.
