Bronte is the only Italian land where the pistachio tree, called ”Pistacia Vera Terebintus”, grows spontaneously and can be cultivated. Its 4000 hectares represent over 90% of the Italian production and about 2% of the world production with 34000 tons of shelled fruits. Pistachios are one of the most requested super foods, thanks to the composition rich in fibre, protein, potassium and Vitamin E. The Green Pistachio of Bronte DOP grows at the foot of the Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe. The Pistachio plants are cultivated on uplands located at 600-900 metres above the sea level and are harvested by hand, due to the diffculties of introducing any kind of machinery on the rocky soil.
