Discover Sciara, the land of Pistachio
Why Sciara "the land of Pistachio"?
Because in Bronte, our town, the term "sciara" refers to lava soil, that is, the very land on which our pistachio grows.
"Sciara", therefore, is the land of Pistachio!
Sciara is the point of reference for all pistachio lovers , a source of delicious artisanal specialties, but also of curiosities and information on the world of pistachios.
Sciara is one of the largest companies producing pistachios and derivative products in Bronte, taking care of the entire supply chain, from cultivation to marketing of the "Green Gold".
Founded by three young Sicilian boys, since 2011 , in a continuous growth, Sciara has today become a company known at a national level, strongly oriented towards multi-channel, innovation and internationalization, an active and dynamic reality , just like the Volcano that is represented in its logo.
Unmistakable colors and flavors characterize all the products that are born on the varied Sicilian lands, of which the Pistachio is the main product, and it is precisely these aspects that Sciara intends to preserve and offer to its customers.
Sciarashop , Sciara 's e-commerce born in 2016, is the first Sicilian online shop born in Bronte and dedicated to Pistachio.
You will be able to choose your favourite products from our artisan specialities : sweet pistachio cream , pistachio pesto and baked sweets such as nougat, crunchy biscuits and pistachio panettone .

Sciara was born in Bronte
one of the largest municipalities in the province of Catania, located between the Etna Park and the Nebrodi Park and home of the renowned “Verde di Bronte DOP” pistachio.
Sciara is, in the Brontese dialect, the lava land , the land on which the best quality of pistachio present on the world markets is produced.
The Sciara logo, then, recalls the image of the Etna volcano, that mountain that often scares, but which is ultimately the gentle giant of Sicily.
We are waiting for you in Bronte, among lava rocks and pistachio groves (this is what the lands cultivated with pistachios are called), where the Sciara headquarters , the production plant and the official sales point are located, where you can find and taste all our specialities in person!
Our products are made with care and dedication
All Sciara products are handcrafted , enriched by the vast local food and wine heritage and the most modern processing technologies.
Our flagship product is Pistachio, but our product range also includes Almond and Hazelnut specialties.
Starting from the work in our pistachio grove, and therefore from the cultivation of pistachios, up to the packaging of our processed products, the essential ingredient in Sciara is the extreme care and dedication of the entire team .
The same care and dedication that is applied in selecting our suppliers and the best raw materials, both Italian and foreign.
In fact, the Italian pistachio, specifically the Bronte pistachio , in addition to not being sufficient in quantity to satisfy the global demand for the product, may also be less suitable than other varieties of pistachio for certain uses.
If the Bronte Pistachio is perfect for example to consume or use as is, without salt or any other added ingredient, other types of Pistachios are more suitable as snacks or to make elaborate products.
The Pistachio Experts
The skill of our production experts is to select the best types of Pistachios present on the market in the different seasons of the year and create the most suitable Pistachio mix for our different processes, with the aim of always maintaining a high quality standard, while at the same time managing to guarantee as much as possible a constant level of costs and therefore prices to the public.
The Bronte pistachio, in fact, is harvested only every 2 years and, despite a production of around 34,000 quintals, as already mentioned, it cannot satisfy the global demand for the product, in addition to having a very notable price fluctuation between the harvest year (typically in odd years) and the year of rest.
In our shop, therefore, you will find both pure products and specialties created with our selections of Pistachios.
