Pistachio, turned into dessert
Frutta Realistica Pistachio is a frozen single-portion pastry dessert that, at first glance, looks like a real pistachio, only much bigger. It belongs to the Frutta Realistica range, fruit-shaped desserts designed to surprise guests at the end of the meal. Each carton holds 8 pieces, approx. 900 g net in total, about 110 g per piece. For your business, it means always having a striking dessert in the freezer, with no preparation and no pastry work in the kitchen.
The dessert
It has the elongated shape of a shelled pistachio, with a smooth, pale green surface and light pinkish hues. In the recipe, white chocolate and cream are combined with two pistachio creams and pure pistachio, together with sponge cake and a cereal and cocoa bean crumble. The pistachio flavour is clear and recognisable, balanced by the sweetness of white chocolate. Each piece rests on a rectangular black tray, protected by a clear lid and placed in its own compartment inside the carton.

How to serve
Frutta Realistica is a frozen product. To serve, simply take it out of the freezer and leave it at room temperature for about 2 hours, as indicated on the label. The single portions are packed separately, each in its own container, so you thaw only the pieces you need and return the rest of the carton to -18 °C straight away. Once thawed and kept at +4 °C, the dessert stays unaltered for 2 days, which makes it easy to plan the evening service or the next day. Serve it as it is, in the centre of the plate: the fruit shape does all the work.
Ideal for
Restaurants and pizzerias looking for a show-stopping dessert without tying up the kitchen, bars and cafés that need an eye-catching item for the pastry counter, hotels for their dessert menu, and caterers for buffets, events and the end of a meal. The realistic fruit shape sparks curiosity at the table, while the single-portion format helps you keep portions and costs under control: one piece, one dessert.
Storage
Store the product at -18 °C until use. After thawing, if kept at +4 °C, it stays unaltered for 2 days. The product is subject to natural weight loss and is sold by the pack, not by weight: the sales unit is the carton of 8 single portions.
