Callebaut's Pure Pistachio Nut Paste is 100% pistachios in a smooth, delicious preparation, perfect for filling macarons or stirring into ganache and gelato!

Carefully selecting the best crops in orchards all over the world, Callebaut guarantees only premium-quality pistachio products with a fresh nut taste. Harvested when they're fully sunripe and stored in the best conditions, Callebaut's pistachios preserve the maximum of their flavour and natural properties. They are shelled max. 12 hours before being roasted, and packed within 12 hours after. Pure Pistachio Paste is a 100% pure, natural and unsweetened paste made from lightly roasted and finely ground pistachios. It has a fresh green colour and a fruity taste with toasted hints.
