History and anecdotes

Considered to be Italy's pistachio capital, the Sicilian town of Bronte dedicates 80% of its territory (equivalent to 3,000 hectares) to growing this nut. Pistacia vera trees only bear flowers every other years and produce between 5 and 15 kg of pistachios, which are harvested by hand.
