We invite you to enjoy the prettiest, best-flavored, freshest Mediterranean Pine Nuts available today.

Are the holidays approaching, or are you expecting some special company who would deeply appreciate a taste of the good old days? It’s hard to beat a tray filled with homemade pignoli (pine nut cookies), complete with almond paste, confectioners’ sugar, and real pine nuts from the old country. Crunchy yet chewy, decadently sweet yet savory, they have the power to lift the spirit like no other traditional treat. Or perhaps, a rich, full-flavored pesto, made the old-fashioned way, would offer the perfect complement to a main course of ziti or penne pasta. With our Mediterranean Pine Nuts, the ordinary become sensational.
For those with simpler tastes, however, and especially for anyone on a health kick, these delicious pine nuts can be an important part of a heart-healthy, fiber-rich diet. Just a small handful a day adds significant amounts of complete protein, oleic acid, zinc, magnesium, Vitamins K and E—the list of healthy nutrients goes on and on. You’ll find them outstanding when added to salads and main dishes. Plus, toasting pine nuts on the stovetop is fast, easy, and makes a great snack even crunchier and tastier. How to toast pine nuts? Simple: just spread a single layer into a hot skillet over medium-low heat, and lightly brown, stirring often to turn. Fantastic!
