The Story of Peppe Pistacchio

In the late 800s, Nonno (grandpa) Salvatore planted his first Pistacchio tree in their family garden. Soon after, he was given the honour of donating his Pistacchio firstlings to the Casa Real of Neaples as a gift for the King. Nono Salvatore continued to plant and grow Pistacchio trees and, for many years after, the Peluso family of Domicella were the only family who grew Pistacchios in the whole Avellinese Valley.

At the time, it was customary to identify a person with the work they did and so it came as no surprise when Nonno Salvatore began to be referred to by all as Salvatore Pistacchio. As the sole providers of the small hard-shelled Pistacchio nut, Nonno Salvatore wore his nickname with pride and it was with great delight that the name was passed down from generation to generation, starting with his son Peppe (short for Guiseppe) Pistacchio.
