AZIENDA AGRICOLA DI BELLA FRANCESCO

On the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna near Bronte, Francesco di Bella tends pistachios that thrive in Sicily's distinctive microclimate. His operation focuses on Pistacchio Verde di Bronte DOP, the only pistachio with protected designation in Europe. The kernels—available in shell, shelled, or peeled form—display the characteristic intense green hue and robust aroma that define the appellation. Strict moisture controls at 4–6% and elevated oleic acid content ensure each harvest meets the exacting standards of this geographically protected region spanning three municipalities.
