Pistachio is one of the most precious ingredients in Sicilian cuisine, as well as the symbol of the municipality of Bronte (province of Catania) and its economy. As a result, this fruit has earned the name "green gold".
It is very likely that these unique characteristics are conferred on it by the volcanic terrain: pistachio trees grow on hot and arid terrain, between the majestic Mount Etna and the Nebrode Mountains, in a natural environment favorable to the growth of this resinous plant, thick, which doesn't require lot of water, nor special treatments.
The harvest, which takes place every two years, between the end of August and the beginning of month of September, is a magical moment in which all the inhabitants participate of Bronte: women, men, the elderly and children climb the trees to pick pistachios, this precious colored shell pearl containing a fruit of a color ranging from intense green to purple, inimitable fragrance.
Thanks to its unique characteristics, its nutritive and organoleptic properties, its unique and incomparable aroma, the pistachio of Bronte obtained in 2009 the DOP label, awarded by the European Union. By the definition of the plant growing area, which must necessarily be located in the municipalities of Bronte, Adrano and Biancaville, regulations, techniques, production, harvesting and labeling, we try to preserve the product and to guarantee pistachio lovers a flavor and a unique fragrance, evoking the magic of this splendid land.

In the south of Sicily, around the town of Avola, there is a very exceptional terroir that is ideal for the cultivation of almonds and grapes, Nero d'Avola. Delgiro resolutely opts for the almonds from this region. The Avola Pizzuta almond is flat and pointed in shape and has an unbeatable aroma: bittersweet and velvety soft. When nibbling the raw almond you immediately taste the taste of refined marzipan.
In the far south of Portugal in the Algarve region is the town of Faro famous for the ancient culture of special almonds. The typically small, thickly rounded almonds are ideal for the preparation of marzipan or broyage. This forms the bittersweet base for use in excellent pastries such as frangipane, javanais, misérable or macarons. Pralines with Faromarsepein are a delicacy.

Vanilla pods are the fruits of an orchid. Pale yellow one-day flowers grow on liana plants. Originally this orchid only grew in southern Mexico and the surrounding area. A native small bee provided natural fertilization. The Spanish explorers got there in Mexico but did not find out how flowers were fertilized. Three centuries later, the plant had ended up on the French island of Île de la Réunion. There, in 1841, a young black slave discovered how at sunrise with a little skill and a bamboo stick he could fertilize the androgynous flower, by bringing the pistil and the stamens together. This manual technique is still used worldwide. The juicy green pods are fully grown about 8 months after fertilization. Refining the vanilla can now start.
After the harvest, the pods are immersed in hot water. Then they are sun-dried and wrapped in cloths overnight. This process is repeated for several days. During the first week after the harvest, an extensive selection of the vanilla pods is already made. A selection is made based on length, thickness and color. More than 85% of the yield does not meet the requirements of black vanilla is processed in the industry as an essence. The remaining black vanilla is then carefully matured for 6 months. The drying process increases the proportion of vanillin and the vanilla sticks with the highest percentages are considered gourmet quality. With Delgiro we guarantee only this top quality from Madagascar. Between the time of fertilization and the ready-to-use quality vanilla easily pass 15 months. Making good vanilla is very labor-intensive and requires a great deal of professional knowledge from the grower. Together with vanilla from Madagascar, we also have planifolia vanilla available from Mexico and Uganda. We also have the rare tahitensis variety from Tahiti and Papua New Guinea. Both are characterized by a distinct floral and sweet taste. The choice is yours

Caramel is the ultimate treat. Everyone appreciates it, young and old, without exception. You are certainly familiar with its great buttery and milky taste, as well as its slightly sticky side that we love so much. Since the 16th century, the region of Isigny-sur-Mer has been particularly specialized in the production of butter and cream. Then, in the 1930s, the idea arose of producing sweets with these local dairy products. Isigny caramels were invented. The manufacture of caramel has developed strongly since the beginning of the 20th century, but it still remains synonymous with tradition thanks to its authentic flavor revealed by the use of ingredients from the land. For those of you who prefer crunchiness, let yourself be surprised by the pieces of Isigny caramel with salted butter and Guérande salt which will contrast with the fondant of your ice creams, decorate your whipped cream or spice up your cookie recipes. .
