Did you know;
  • Pistachio trees typically start producing around the age of 10,
  • yielding an average of 10 kg per tree
  • can thrive for an impressive 100 to 150 years

Pistachio, known for its beneficial impact on the body’s physiology and metabolic functions, is classified as a ‘functional food.’ Apart from being enjoyed as a snack, pistachios find application as a flavor enhancer in the confectionery and dessert industry, particularly in baklava and chocolate production, as well as in ice cream manufacturing. They are a potent source of energy and hold significant nutritional value.

Gaziantep pistachios are different from other pistachio varieties for several reasons, which contribute to their distinct flavor, texture, and overall quality. Here are the key factors that set Gaziantep pistachios apart:

We use special methods of harvesting in Gaziantep

Pistachios originating from Gaziantep have established themselves as among the finest pistachios globally. This exceptional quality is not solely attributed to the distinctive tree variety but also to the harvesting method employed.
Our approach involves gathering the pistachios a month prior to the typical season if the pistachios are to be used for baklava and other sweet indusrty which serves to maintain their small size while intensifying their flavour per unit volume.
For those early harvested pistachios, essential oil and protein content is higher than in September.

Pistachios have been cultivated in the region for centuries, with records suggesting that they were first grown in this area around 3,000 years ago. The unique climate of Gaziantep—characterized by hot, dry summers and mild winters—creates the perfect growing conditions for pistachio trees. The city’s long history of agriculture has made pistachio cultivation a central part of its identity, and it is one of the top producers of pistachios in Turkey.

Unique Climate and Soil Conditions

Gaziantep, located in southeastern Turkey, offers an ideal climate for pistachio cultivation. The region experiences long, hot, dry summers and mild winters, which are the perfect conditions for pistachio trees to thrive. The soil in this area is rich in minerals, which helps the trees produce pistachios that are larger and more flavorful compared to other varieties grown in different climates.

Better Shell

The shells of Gaziantep pistachios are easy to crack, unlike some other pistachios that have thicker, tougher shells. This makes them more convenient to eat and adds to the overall experience.

Distinct Flavor Profile

Gaziantep pistachios are famous for their rich, nutty, and slightly sweet flavor. They have a unique balance of sweetness and earthiness that is not found in many other pistachio varieties. This makes them highly prized for use in desserts and snacks, where their flavor can truly shine. The richness of their taste also makes them ideal for savory dishes, giving them versatility in the kitchen.

Rich Green Color

The pistachios from Gaziantep are known for their vibrant green color, which is a mark of their freshness and high quality. The bright green hue is a result of high chlorophyll content, which contributes to their natural flavor and makes them visually appealing. Pistachios with this color are often considered to be the freshest and most premium, distinguishing them from paler varieties.

3x times more expensive

In the accompanying image, you can observe the contrasting sizes of pistachios harvested at the commencement and conclusion of the season.

Given their threefold reduction in weight, these pistachios command a selling price three times higher than their larger counterparts, making them a sought-after commodity among farmers.
