Celebrate World Pistachio Day – 26 February 2026
Tracy Krause
Celebrating one of the world’s most versatile and delicious nuts — the pistachio. Nutty, savoury, and beautifully balanced, pistachios are more than just a snack; they’re an ingredient that elevates dishes with their rich flavour and satisfying crunch.
Did you know?
Pistachios have been enjoyed for over 9,000 years, making them one of the oldest cultivated nuts.
They’re known as the “smiling nut” because of their naturally split shell.
Packed with protein, fibre, and antioxidants, pistachios are as nutritious as they are tasty.
They were once considered a luxury food in the Middle East and Europe — the perfect fit for gourmet creations.
At Borgo, we’ve taken the humble pistachio and combined it with premium Italian-style craftsmanship to create something truly special: our Salame al Prosciutto and Pistachio. Crafted from 100% Australian pork, this salame features generous pieces of prosciutto and pistachio, delivering depth of flavour, texture, and elegance in every bite.
It’s no wonder our salame is multi-award-winning and now recognised with Platinum status on the world stage — a true gourmet standout for any charcuterie board, antipasto platter, or indulgent snack.
Whether you’re a devoted charcuterie fan or just discovering the joys of pistachio, Borgo’s Salame al Prosciutto and Pistachio is the perfect way to mark World Pistachio Day.
