These are actual Italian pine nuts. Need we say more? They are bursting with fresh pine aroma. Just pop a few in your mouth and you will be transported to a Mediterranean pine forest. These pine nuts are full of resinous flavor; think fresh tree sap. They have a remarkably smooth texture and satisfying density, and they prove the adage that good things come in small packages. Toast them to bring out their intense aromas, then mix them into salads, rice dishes, or use them in your favorite dessert, such as traditional Italian pinoli cookies. Or, grab some fresh basil and real extra virgin olive oil, and wow your guests with your own authentic pesto sauce, perfect for pasta or brushed on vegetables or fresh bread. One of our favorite recipes is casarecci with anchovies, pine nuts, cauliflower, raisins and breadcrumbs.
