Oh heaven.

I know that readers will doubtfully have ever tried Sicilian Pistachio cream. This stuff is heavenly, to say the least. It has that quality of flavor that says it’s so good, like a truffle, or an exotic honey, that maybe you shouldn’t be eating it. Luxurious, yes, but so creamy, sweet, and nutty rich.

Where did I get this spread? From the Z-Club: one of my Christmas gifts from Zingerman’s Deli in Ann Arbor. They send you a box, and it’s filled with all sorts of gourmet treats.

Supposedly this stuff is rare, and the first time it has been imported into the U.S. of A. Zingerman’s tells us that this stuff is good on toast, bagels, waffles, and oatmeal, or drizzled over ricotta cheese. I’m guessing it would make a killer addition to a pistachio-flavored soufflée, too.

Yum. Zingerman’s is likely to carry this in 2007 at their store, or through their catalog. It’s one (and the first) treat in my Z-Club box that I whole-heartedly recommend. It’s that good.
