Babà Al Pistacchio In Vasocottura Inglima 300g

The pistachio baba from pastry shop Angelo Inglima combines the typical Neapolitan tradition with traditional Sicilian confectionery ingredients. The excellence of Bronte pistachio and Sicilian orange peel add a touch of fragrance to the exquisite baba. Pistachio (from the Greek word Pistàkion) is a plant native to the Mediterranean basin, in particular it was present in ancient Persia and Turkey. Pistachios were used for direct consumption, for flavouring meat or in the preparation of sweets. The Arabs, following the invasion of the Byzantines in Sicily, increased the cultivation of pistachios on the island, particularly on the slopes of Mount Etna. Today, Sicily is the only region where pistachio, also called 'green gold' for its precious value, is cultivated. The pistachio from Bronte that the Angela Inglima confectionery uses for the preparation of the pistachio baba in vasocottura has the PDO mark, the Protected Designation of Origin was obtained in 2009.
