Producers
Our pistachios come from Castilla La Mancha, Spain, grown on 300 hectares by José Angel Torres Santos. La Mancha is an ideal area for growing pistachios, as the climatic conditions are ideal for their development. What's more, these plantations incorporate efficient, environmentally-friendly irrigation systems, as they rely mainly on solar energy for their operation.
The pistachio varieties grown are Kerman, Larnaka, Sirora, & Lost hill.

Bloom/Harvest
The pistachio grows on a tree called the pistachio tree.
The pistachio tree begins to flower in spring, in April to be precise. The small flowers are grouped in clusters. They have 5 very short stamens, and then bear fruit.
When ripe, the fruit turns from green to reddish-yellow and suddenly opens, indicating that it's ready to be harvested.

Manufacturing
Once harvested, the pistachios are pre-cleaned to separate them from foreign elements (pieces of wood, stones etc.). Immediately after cleaning, the pistachio is shelled and dried on a long tarpaulin in the sun.
When the pistachio is dry, further processes are carried out: separation of the closed/open pistachio, coloring, etc. The pistachio is then packed for transport to our Perl'amande factory.
