Description

At Finca La Rosala, we discovered a way to bring the essence of Iran directly to your table, through our irresistible Saffron and Lemon Pistachios. Have you ever thought that somewhere in the world pistachios are eaten like sunflower seeds? You know that in the company of a good glass of wine, that moment will be extraordinary.

We'll tell you how they are enjoyed in other parts of the world next...

From the fields of Iran to ours in Castilla-La Mancha, our pistachios are of the Kerman variety, an Iranian region that gives its name to this variety for being the place where it originated. However, we only bring this seed home to Spain, and using organic farming techniques, we plant and cultivate them on our own Finca La Rosala. This allows us to control conditions that ensure you receive a product of higher quality than that of Iran, for example larger in size, retaining the intense flavor, and staying fresh throughout the year.

Would you like a gustatory journey to Iran? A direct ticket to the richness of flavors enjoyed at Iranian tables.

Improving upon the product from Iran, we want to make sure you taste it as if you were in this country. No, scratch that: better than if you were in this country. The tradition in Iran involves soaking the pistachios in lemon and saffron water and then naturally toasting them. Afterwards, they are placed on trays in the center of social event tables, where each family member or friend enjoys savoring them first, and then removing the shell to eat the pistachio with the flavor of saffron and lemon. Would you be willing to perform this ritual at home?

Watch our video from the photo collection to see how we toast them in Spain in artisan ovens.
