There are so many products I’ve had my mind blown learning that it wasn’t mechanically processed in some way. Certain ingredients rarity increases price too, and some machines require more attention to run… I really feel they did the pasta a disservice by putting such a rich sauce on it, they should at least have tried some naked, or at most maybe butter or olive oil… All that said, it’s still fairly niche, and they have to market it knowing they won’t be getting the massive sales, so it’s probably more per pound than others so the company can stay afloat.

That's all relative though ultimately. I don't know if that's the right metric. I think some consideration for the value of the experience is justified. I don't think that the experience of having wildly overpriced hot sauce dribbled on your food is anywhere near as significant as having a high priced but very high quality glass of wine, or steak, or whiskey some other more substantial main attraction food stuff. I can see why A1 Wagyu short rib might not be pretentious at its price point but why a $200-800 tiny bottle of Tobasco is pretentious. You're not getting any amazing food experience for the money you're spending on the latter, but you may be on the former.

Pistachio creams can be very expensive so in my house we used a very high pistachio content pesto that’s about £8 cheaper a jar but still has something like 95% pistachio content. The extra salt and umami you get from the extra ingredients honestly make it great for ice cream. I would say, though, that it is better mixed through to just make a pistachio ice cream than it is if you fold it in like a ripple, as it can be quite gummy/tacky and sugary in the mouth when it’s very cold. Pistachio ice cream made with this stuff is just the best in the world.

I have a chocolate allergy and have never been able to experience Nutella. I bought a pistachio cream online because of this video. The first thing that I made was pistachio Greek yogurt. It was so good! It made the yogurt denser and silkier. I topped it with some crushed and whole pistachio.

Wow that Pistachio Cream is double the price of what it is in the US. I just went on Amazon and found several examples, including ones from Sicily for about $12-$14 for the same size jar.

Croissants filled with pistachio creme is the thing i miss the most from Italy. It is a divine taste.

I always have pistachio cream in my cupboard - it has sooooo many uses!! ❤ (pistachio lattes are one of my favs)

One of the gems in the series!

You can find the pistachio cream in croissants (cornetti) in Italy. It's so delicious but so sweet
