PISTACHIO spread

PISTACHIO pistachio cream – a pistachio spread that's almost half pistachios

Love pistachio in every form? You're in the right place! Pistachio is our cult pistachio cream with 45% roasted pistachios – velvety, deeply pistachio-flavoured and lightly salted with a pinch of Himalayan salt. We roast, grind, jar and label the pistachios ourselves – by hand, in our workshop in Kraków. Good Noot is the nutty sister of Good Lood, the Kraków ice cream shop, so pistachios are something we know inside out.

Pistachio cream – what exactly is it?

Pistachio cream is a ready-to-eat sweet spread for bread and desserts. Its base is ground pistachios, with sugar, fat and a pinch of salt added to make it smooth, creamy and ready to enjoy. In Pistachio, pistachios make up almost half of the jar.

Pistachio paste is something else: just ground pistachios, nothing added. If you came here looking for a "100% pistachio cream", what you're after is a paste – ours is TYLKO PISTACJA. And a pistachio cake filling? That's something you make yourself – for example from Pistachio, mascarpone and whipping cream (recipe below).

How to choose a good pistachio cream? What to look for in the ingredients

Not all pistachio creams are the same. Before you add a jar to your cart, check the label:

• How many pistachios? The pistachio content should be given as a percentage. The higher it is on the list and the bigger the percentage, the more pistachio flavour.
• Which fat? Check whether the ingredients include palm oil.
• Colour and aroma. A cream made from roasted pistachios has a naturally olive, muted shade. If the colour is very bright, check the ingredients for colourings or flavourings.
• Sugar. If sugar is the first ingredient, there is more of it in the jar than pistachios. Cutting down on sugar? Choose the version with no added sugar.
• Milk powder. Important for vegans – many creams contain it.
• Salt. A pinch brings out the pistachio flavour, but it's worth knowing it's there.

Pistachio cream with mascarpone for cakes – recipe

Light, fluffy and seriously pistachio – perfect for layer cakes, sponge cakes and tartlets.

Ingredients: 250 g mascarpone, 200 ml whipping cream (30% fat), approx. 120 g Pistachio cream (approx. 8 tablespoons). The mascarpone and cream must be well chilled.

1. Whip the cream until stiff.
2. In another bowl, briefly mix the mascarpone with the Pistachio cream until smooth.
3. Add the whipped cream in batches and fold in gently with a spatula.
4. Taste it – Pistachio is sweet, so you usually don't need to add sugar. Chill for about 30 minutes before filling the cake.

Without mascarpone: whip 300 ml of chilled 30% cream (you can add a cream stabiliser) and fold in approx. 100 g Pistachio at the end.

Quick idea: cut puff pastry into triangles, put a teaspoon of Pistachio on the wide end, roll into crescents and bake following the pastry package instructions. Pistachio croissants are ready!
