Characteristics and properties
Euphoria’s pistachios are from the rarer Koilarati (round) or Aiginis variety, which considered to be the world’s finest pistachios. They have a pale blonde shell, fuschia-tinged exterior and meat that is emerald when ripe.
With a sweeter taste than its American and Iranian counterparts.We use natural crude sea salt, from the salinas of Messolonghi, a region that is free of pollution and is protected by several environmental organizations.They have the right balance in salt, accentuating their delicate taste without covering it.
Also at the roasting process we use natural lemon juice, instead of citric acid.
