[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The town of Viana de Cega, Valladolid, hosted the official presentation of the new Pistacyl pistachio oil on September 20th. This is the first pistachio oil produced in Castilla y León and one of the latest innovations from Grupo Pistacyl.
The presentation took place during the Gastronomic Fair held in this town, organized by the Viana de Cega City Council with the sponsorship of Alimentos de Valladolid, a guarantee brand of which Grupo Pistacyl is a part. Chef Emilio Martín, owner of the Suite 22 restaurant in Valladolid, prepared two innovative recipes featuring pistachio oil.
The event brought together numerous residents and visitors in the main square of Viana de Cega, who were able to watch the live preparation of the “PGI Suckling Lamb Hot-Dog with Pistachio Chimichurri” and “Pistachio Cheese and Praline Bonbon,” which they were later able to sample for free.
The presentation included a speech by the president of Grupo Pistacyl, Alfredo Pérez, who highlighted the qualities of the new pistachio oil—a product of high nutritional value, 100% natural, and with excellent properties for culinary use—as well as its production process, which involves cold-pressing pistachio kernels.
This preserves all the mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acid characteristic of this nut, and thus its nutritional and organoleptic properties. The result is a natural pistachio oil, produced without the addition of any preservatives, colourings, oils, or sugar, ideal for both sweet and savoury recipes.
He also explained that pistachio oil is one of the results of the “Pistachio Foods” research project that Grupo Pistacyl has been developing together with the ProcerealTech Research Group at the University of Valladolid, with the goal of obtaining various food products and ingredients with high nutritional value from the comprehensive use of the pistachios they cultivate.
Also participating in the event were the Mayor of Viana de Cega, Alberto Collantes, and the Councilor for Social Action, Education, and Culture, Esther Fernández, who expressed their satisfaction with the success of the Gastronomic Fair and its opening with the presentation of this innovative product in their town.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
