The irresistible taste of Sicilian pistachio cream
Anyone who has ever visited a Sicilian pasticceria knows the special place that pistachio holds in the Italian confectionery tradition.
From filled croissants to cannoli, pastries and ice cream: pistachio is a beloved ingredient in countless Sicilian delicacies.
With Dolgam I Siciliani Crema di Pistacchio, you bring that delicious taste home.
This sweet pistachio cream contains 30% pistachio, and has a soft, creamy texture. This makes it easy to spread, use as a filling, or incorporate into desserts.
Dolgam – Sicilian confectionery tradition since 1970
Dolgam is located in Mascali, in the province of Catania in Sicily.
Since 1970, the company has been producing Sicilian confectionery specialties, including torrone, pralines, pistachio creams, and other treats.
The Dolgam I Siciliani Pistachio Cream is inspired by the rich Sicilian dessert culture.
Although the cream is produced in Sicily, the pistachio used, according to the ingredient information, comes from both EU and non-EU countries.
What makes this pistachio cream special?
30% pistachio
The pistachio content of 30% ensures a distinctly recognisable pistachio flavour.
Deliciously creamy
The spreadable texture makes the cream suitable for bread, croissants, pancakes, and pastries.
Versatile in the kitchen
Use it as a filling for cannoli, as a layer in a tiramisu or as a topping on vanilla ice cream.
A sweet cream, not a savoury pesto
Dolgam Crema di Pistacchio is intended for sweet preparations. The product contains sugar and milk components and is not the same as a savoury pistachio pesto for pasta.

Croissants: as a creamy filling for an Italian cornetto al pistacchio.
Cannoli Siciliani: as a tasty addition to a ricotta filling.
Tiramisu: for a pistachio variant of the classic Italian dessert.
Pancakes and waffles: as an alternative to chocolate or hazelnut spread.

The secret of Nonna Kelvini
Is the pistachio cream a bit too thick to spread nicely over your dessert? Gently heat the required amount in a bain-marie. This will make the cream smoother and allow you to create beautiful thin layers or decorative strands.
