Flavour harmony: pistachio and rose
Pistachio has positioned itself in recent years as the flavour you can no longer ignore. Once mostly associated with artisanal ice cream and luxurious baklava, this refined and nutty flavour has now secured its place in a wide variety of foods. From elegant pastries in bakery shops to the supermarket shelves, the rich nutty flavour of pistachio seems to be appearing everywhere.
It has not only captured the attention of food connoisseurs but also flooded social media feeds with pistachio-inspired content. Whether it is a chocolate bar with a rich pistachio filling, a croissant with a surprising twist or a green pistachio latte, this flavour manages to capture our attention time and time again.
Pistachio as a flavour was already successful on its own, but for this Flavour Idea we’re taking it a step further by combining the nutty richness of pistachio with the refined floral notes of rose. This harmonious combination has a long history in Middle Eastern and Persian cuisines, where nuts and floral type of aromas play a key role in traditional sweets and desserts. Just think of luxurious baklava, velvety halva or creamy milk drinks, where pistachio and rose complement each other in a perfect way.
Please do experiment with this new flavour harmony suggestion in macarons, ganache fillings, aerated mousses, ice creams or even adding it to cakes and cookies for a surprising twist.
