Description
A unique gift for anyone who loves Sicily, pistachios and the authentic stories of Italy.
What if, instead of giving something to unwrap, you gave a real pistachio tree on the slopes of Mount Etna?
With this symbolic adoption, you can adopt – or gift – a pistachio tree in Bronte, Sicily, in one of the most famous regions in the world for the cultivation of this little green treasure.
Your tree will have a personalised plaque with the name of your choice, you will receive an adoption certificate and, throughout the year, you will be able to follow its story through photos and updates.
And of course, there is the most delicious part: you will receive a selection of pistachios and pistachio specialities at home, from creams and pesto to pistachio flour, chocolate and traditional Italian festive cakes.
And what if one day you travel to Sicily?
You can come and meet your tree, walk through the pistachio grove and discover first-hand how one of the island’s most iconic products is grown and transformed.
It’s more than just a gift. It’s a little piece of Sicily growing with your name on it.
The Pistachio of Bronte
Intense, aromatic and unmistakably bright green, the pistachio of Bronte has become one of Sicily’s best-known gastronomic symbols.
But to truly understand it, you have to discover the place where it grows.
Around Bronte, on the slopes of Mount Etna, pistachio trees grow in a landscape shaped by the volcano, among lava rocks and volcanic soil.
It is here, in an environment that may seem challenging at first glance, that generations of farmers have cultivated pistachios according to rhythms, techniques and traditions deeply rooted in the local territory.
The Pistacchio Verde di Bronte PDO comes from plants of the Pistacia vera species and the Napoletana cultivar, locally also known as Bianca or Nostrale.
The traditional harvest takes place every two years and is still today one of the most eagerly awaited moments in the countryside around Bronte.
A tiny fruit holding a great Sicilian story.
And with this adoption, that is exactly the story you can bring home – or give to someone you love.

Your tree grows at the foot of Mount Etna
Behind every tree is the work of people who have chosen to continue believing in their land.
Growing pistachios in Sicily means much more than producing an outstanding gastronomic speciality.
It means preserving a tradition, enhancing the value of the Etna region and showing that agriculture, quality and innovation can also create a future here.
The pistachio grove tells exactly this story: a Sicily made up of people who choose to stay, invest in their homeland and share everything this land has to offer.
With your adoption, you too become part of this story.
Your name – or the name of the person you wish to give the adoption to – will be linked to a tree in the pistachio grove through a personalised plaque.
From that moment on, somewhere at the foot of Mount Etna, there will be a tree bearing that name.
A gift that doesn’t end when it’s unwrapped
Some gifts last a few days. And then there are gifts that continue for an entire year.
First, the personalised certificate will arrive.
Then, in Bronte, there will really be a tree with a plaque bearing their name.
Throughout the year, photos and stories from the pistachio grove will arrive.
Then comes a box filled with the flavours of Sicily.
And perhaps, during the next trip to Sicily, the most beautiful moment of all will arrive: meeting that tree in person.
That is why adopting a pistachio tree is a special gift for a birthday, wedding, anniversary, Christmas, retirement or simply to surprise someone who loves Italy and Sicily.
It is also an especially meaningful gift for Italians living abroad who would like to keep a small connection with their homeland.
Adopt or gift your pistachio tree in Bronte.
Because for someone who truly loves Sicily, one jar of pistachio cream might simply not be enough.
