Pineapple Pesto Ristoris: an exotic sweet-and-spicy condiment for professional kitchens
Ristoris Pineapple Pesto is a ready-to-use gastronomic preparation based on pineapple (min. 77%) and peanuts (min. 12%), supplied in a 500 g glass jar. Its creamy, sweet-and-spicy profile, enriched with cashews, orange zest and a hint of chilli, makes it a versatile ally for chefs looking to bring contemporary, surprising flavours to their menus.
What is pineapple pesto
Unlike the classic basil pesto, this is a sweet-savoury condiment that belongs to the family of fruit-based gastronomic creams. It pairs the tropical sweetness of pineapple with the toasted, oily crunch of peanuts and cashews, balanced by orange zest and a delicate spicy note. The result is a smooth, homogeneous spread that adds an unexpected agrodolce contrast to many dishes.
The producer
The product is made by Ristoris SRL, a company based in Broni, in the province of Pavia (Lombardy), specialising in gastronomic specialities for the HoReCa sector. Ristoris develops creams and condiments dedicated to professional catering, with a focus on ready-to-use formats and consistent quality.
Organoleptic characteristics
Creamy and homogeneous texture, golden colour with visible fragments of peanut and pineapple. The flavour is sweet and fruity on the first note, with a savoury, toasted body from the nuts and a final spicy touch. The aroma is intense and tropical, enhanced by the citrus zest.
Professional uses
Ready to use straight from the jar. Spread it on crostini and bruschetta as an aperitif bite; pair it with aged, mature or blue cheeses on a cheese board; serve it alongside white meats, roast pork or chicken; use it as a topping for tartare and carpaccio; or add an exotic accent to gourmet sandwiches and burgers. A small amount is enough to characterise a dish thanks to its concentrated flavour.
Pairings
Excellent with mature cheeses, blue cheeses and fresh goat cheese, cured meats, white meats and grilled fish. It also works as a contrasting element with savoury baked goods and as a finishing touch on creative plates.
