Fiddyment Farms Pistachio Paste 16oz.

This is excellent pistachio paste for those of us who can't face shelling, skinning and grinding hundreds of pistachios. It tastes of natural pistachio, definitely no artificial flavor. So it is not extremely strong, but still pleasant.It seems like a small jar for the price, but most recipes only call for a tsp or tbsp of it (I bought it for madeleines and pistachio bavarois). I actually worried about it expiring before I could use it all. Hot tip: pistachio cheesecake or cinnamon buns with pistachio filling will use up almost the whole jar, so it won't go to waste!

Outrageously expensive but delicious! We returned from Italy (where I consumed quite a bit of gelato, mostly pistachio) and I found with great delight my Saveur magazine waiting with a recipe for Pistachio gelato. The recipe was insistent on using pistachio paste not pistachio cream, so after Googling and researching prices, I bit the bullet and ordered this. The gelato was absolutely delicious and full of pistachio flavor. I bought Talenti Pistachio gelato for a point of comparison, and there is no comparison! (sorry Talenti..your other flavors might be delicious!) The commercial supermarket gelato tastes like a green colored mildly-flavored gelato, but not of pistachio. Very little pistachio taste. So if you love pistachio gelato, treat yourself, bite the bullet and buy the $$$ paste. It makes knock your socks off gelato! Reserve it for special occasions!

Bit on the pricey side but this is my second purchase and very pleased with the taste, texture and freshness. Used this to make ice cream and the most amazing pistachio cupcakes with pistachio buttercream frosting.

I wanted this pistachio paste to use in a crème brulee recipe posted on a Disney website. Couldn't find any in our local grocery stores so I ordered it on Amazon. It's a wonderful product. The crème brulee I made with it is delicious. The recipe only called for two ounces of the paste so there's plenty left to make the crème brulee again which makes my family very happy.

Purpose of the Pistachio Paste:Pistachio ButtercreamPackaging:I was hesitant when I received this product because it was small, like really small, it was the size of a 5oz Chobani container. When I took the jar out of the shipping package, the jar was sealed really well as there were no leakage or any sort.Pistachio Paste review:When I broke the seal to get the Pistachio Paste, the texture was like creamy peanut butter and the color was exactly like the picture shown on the amazon product page, a mix of light brown and green with little dark brown particles which may be from the pistachios that are roasted. If you're expecting your final product to be bright green like what you see in the stores for pistachio products, don't get you hopes up. Due to the color of the product I was worried that my Pistachio buttercream would turn out to be a failure before I even started but surprisingly when I mixed in the Pistachio Paste into the buttercream base it turned into a pale green color. Green nevertheless so that was awesome.Pistachio Paste taste:By itself the Pistachio Paste just taste and smells like a regular unsalted with no sugar nut butter but when mixed into other ingredients that calls for Pistachio Paste (in my case a buttercream frosting base), the end result is a light, smooth, and fragrant product.Verdict:This was possibly the most expensive food product I've ever brought on Amazon for now (because shipping was another $17 cause I needed it the next day) but I have to say that I really enjoyed this product. I would buy this again when I need to make 4 cups of Pistachio buttercream but beware that this product can get expensive depending on how much pistachio paste you will need and how often you will need it; for me I needed to use the whole jar for 4 cups of buttercream base.

The price per ounce means, for me, its use has to be considered. However, the pistachio gelato I made was the best we've had-would be hard to go back to the commercial gelato now. And its great that its a domestic product.To use the remainder of the container, I'll be making pistachio croissants soon!

After boiling, peeling and processing pistachios for use in baking a wedding cake (and being disappointed with the results), I ordered two jars of this paste. What a difference! Easy to work with, it blended in with the cake batter smoothly and the taste was rich and nutty. The cake rose as desired and it made a lovely second layer of a three tiered cake. We plan on using it for homemade gelato next. This is a great product.

Great stuff. I added this stuff to some homemade whipped cream to pipe into my pistachio croissants and it was amazing. This stuff is understandably pricy, but my god is it delicious on anything baked/bread related.
