List of products by brand Pistì

Pistì was born almost from a game, the one that in 2001 led two young people, just twenty years old, to bet on a project capable of combining the Sicilian confectionery vocation with a modern way of doing business. The intuition that Nino Marino and Vincenzo Longhitano had then was to invent an artisan laboratory for the production of typical Sicilian sweets: therefore nougat, marzipan fruit, brittle and chocolate, almond specialties, panettone and colomba, but with a new mood of refinement and creativity that meet the palate and desire for novelty of the younger generations. Thanks to the use of an excellent raw material and a process that focuses on an accurate craftsmanship of the product, Pistì immediately hits the mark: the debut at Cibus collects so many orders that it requires the immediate purchase of a warehouse adjacent to the historic pastry shop taken over in the center of Bronte to start the business. The widespread use of female labor and a strong sensitivity to environmental protection complete the portrait of a jewel of a company that remains a large artisan pastry shop where all the processes, from processing to packaging, with great care in the choice of packaging and decor, are still carried out by hand. All this can only be the fruit and treasure of a lesson in knowledge and flavors that, despite the important numbers achieved, has maintained that character of manual work that makes Pistì a success story, permeated with Sicilian tradition and innovation, in a mix of wisdom and excellence destined to last over time.
