Pistachio Paste Gold 3 kg by Mio
Pistachio Paste Gold is a concentrated semi-finished product made with 99.7% pistachio, designed for professional gelato and pastry work. The Gold version delivers a bright, display-stable green and an intense roasted-pistachio aroma, ideal where colour impact is part of the recipe. Supplied in a 3 kg resealable bucket with handle by Mio (Innovaction S.r.l., Ragusa, Sicily), it is intended exclusively for artisanal labs and industry, not for direct consumption.
What pistachio paste is
Pistachio paste is obtained by roasting and finely grinding pistachio kernels into a smooth, oily paste. It is the backbone of pistachio gelato and a key ingredient for creams, mousses, glazes and fillings, because it concentrates flavour without adding water. The high pistachio percentage (99.7%) places this paste among the pure concentrated references rather than the diluted flavouring pastes.
Sicilian origin
This paste comes from Ragusa, in south-eastern Sicily, the Italian region most closely associated with pistachio growing and processing. Sicily's volcanic soils and dry climate give the pistachio its characteristic deep flavour, which is why Sicilian pistachio is the benchmark ingredient for gelato makers across Europe.
The producer
Mio is the professional line of semi-finished products by Innovaction S.r.l., based in Ragusa, Sicily. The range covers concentrated pastes, flavourings, mirror glazes and fillings for gelato shops and pastry labs, with a focus on consistent quality at a controlled cost.
Sensory profile
Dense, oily and smooth texture; bright green colour; intense aroma of roasted pistachio with no added water. The natural pistachio oil tends to rise to the surface, which is why the paste must be stirred with a dry spatula before each use.
