The original gelato made with pistachio nuts from the beautiful island of Sicily.

Did you know Pistachio is a tree? It is a member of the cashew family, originating from Central Asia and the Middle East. People have been eating pistachios for thousands of years and we love to make our popular gelato with Pure Pistachio Butter from Sicily.

The Italians were ahead of the game. In the first century A.D. Emperor Vitellius introduced Rome to the pistachio. Apicius, Rome's 5th-century A.D. recipe book, and that era's version of Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking, includes pistachios.

The kernels can have different colors, ranging from yellow to shades of green. At GelatoLove we don’t use any food coloring, so our pistachio gelato is a beautiful shade of light brownish green.

Among the health benefits of pistachios, we find high levels of unsaturated fatty acids an potassium. They both have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory traits. They can also lower your chances of cardiovascular disease.

Since Pistachios are bursting with fiber, minerals and unsaturated fat, they can help keep your blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol in check.
