Roasted & Salted Pistachios
Not a variety — a process. Any of our in-shell varieties can be dry-roasted and salted to an agreed profile, so you specify the nut and the finish separately.
Available across every size we carry. Choose the variety first, then the roast and salt level.

What it is
Roasting is where a pistachio programme is either won or lost. Under-roast and the nut tastes raw; over-roast and the kernel darkens and the oil turns. We agree a roast profile against a physical sample before the first commercial lot, and every subsequent shipment is matched to that reference.
What it means for your order
Salt is applied as a brine before roasting rather than dusted on afterwards, which is what makes the seasoning stick evenly instead of collecting at the bottom of the pack. Roasted product also has a shorter shelf life than raw — nine months rather than twelve — so we recommend vacuum cartons for anything shipping outside the region.
