These pistachios have been produced in the Megara administrative area in the eastern part of mainland Greece for more than a hundred years. The microclimate of this area, characterized by hot summers and mild winters with low levels of precipitation, provides the ideal conditions for the cultivation of pistachios.
Megara pistachios are cropped from the Megalokarpi, Fundukati, Nihati, and Kilarati varieties of the Pistachia vera tree. The nuts are sun dried, after which they are shelled and machine sorted. These pistachios are praised for their sweet taste and vibrant green colour.
