Aegina Island Greek Pistachios, Aiginis , 250g PDO

The Aegina pistachio nut – PDO (Protected Designation of Origin), known in Greece as the Aegina Fistiki, has been systematically cultivated in Aegina since the 1860s. Today the Aegina Fistiki is naturally grown on small family estates, providing the island’s population with its main source of income. Every year during August and September the pistachios are hand-picked and sun-dried with unrivalled artistry.

The eclectic taste, shapely form and full kernel of the Aegina Fistiki, are due to the warm climatic conditions, the texture of the soil as well as the proximity to the sea. Recognizing these characteristics, the European Union awarded the Aegina Fistiki the accolade POP (Protected Origin Product – EC Dir. 1263/96), distinguishing it from all the other pistachios world-wide.
