| - Best pistachios in town, great selection, and well worth a trip for any pistachio lover!
While living in London I discovered pistachios from Iran. Sweet, almost buttery in flavor, absolutely delicious and one of my all time favorite treats. Yes, I consider pistachios a treat like one might consider chocolate.
Most of the pistachios I've found in Toronto are from California and although the California ones have gotten better, I still prefer the ones from Iran.
A Persian friend introduced me to Tavazo when I was telling him how much I missed the pistachios from Iran I'd get in London. He brought me a bag one day and I was hooked.
Personally I love the jumbo, roasted, unsalted pistachios but they have many different kinds, including a sour one using lemon juice.
The jumbo, roasted, unsalted still tasted like they have a little salt but definitely a lot less than the usual.
It's all by weight so you can pick up as little or as much as you like. They also had a lot of other treats like dried fruits, middle eastern sweets, honey, and rose water but I saw nothing but pistachios.
