El Caserio Crema de Pistachio

The first El Caserio candies were created by Jesús Ramírez in the 1940s in Tafalla, Spain, and since then his original recipes have been handed down through multiple generations. The brand now offers over thirty different flavors, all made through artisanal processes using the finest ingredients. These pistachio-flavored cream candies are one of El Caserio’s most innovative offerings. Pistachios were first introduced in Spain in the 1st century CE, when Spain was part of the Roman Empire. Today, Spain is a major pistachio producer, and the vibrant green nuts are a popular ingredient in local sweets and desserts. In fact, many Spanish farmers are now replacing traditional crops like olives and grapes with pistachios, as they fetch such a high price.
