Aegina Island -- The Island of Aegina is situated in the Saronic Gulf of the Aegean Sea, 17 nautical miles from mainland Greece. The first capital of independent Greece during 1826-7, Aegina is rich in ancient and modern history, culture and natural beauty.

The Aegina Fistiki -- The Aegina pistachio nut, known in Greek as the Aegina Fistiki has been systematically cultivated on Aegina since the 1860s/ Today the Aegina Fistiki is naturally grown on small family estates, providing the island's population of 11,000 with its main source of income. Every year during the months of August and September the pistachios are hand-picked and sun-dried with unrivalled artistry.

Certified Aegina Island Grown -- The eclectic taste, shapely form and full kernel of the Aegina Fistiki are due to the warm climatic conditions, the texture of the soil as well as the proximity to the sea. Recognizing these unique characteristics, the European Union awarded the Aegina Fistiki the accolade POP ( Protected Origin Product - EC Dir. 1263/96 ), distinguishing it from all other pistachios world-wide.
