Grupo Pistacyl has commenced its pistachio harvesting campaign in Castilla y León with very high expectations for both quality and quantity. The company, based in Valladolid, estimates that this season will yield 400 tons of green pistachios, which translates to approximately 125 tons of dry pistachios—a figure that quintupled the production volume compared to the previous campaign in 2024.
This notable increase in production is attributed to the incorporation of new plots in the province of Valladolid, as well as the utilization of pistachios harvested from other areas in Castilla y León. Advances in pistachio trees have improved their yield, thanks to collaboration with prestigious organizations such as CDTI, ITACYL, and the University of Valladolid.
Recent research and innovation projects have optimized both production and quality of pistachios. The adoption of modern technologies and precision agriculture practices ensures a more efficient use of water resources. All of this results in high-quality pistachios, whose sizes and organoleptic properties are enhanced by the climatic conditions of this winter and spring, especially due to the lack of frosts in April and May.
With this increase in production, Grupo Pistacyl reaffirms its position as the leading pistachio producer in Castilla y León. Currently, it manages 70 hectares cultivated with around 15,000 pistachio trees distributed across several farms in Pozal de Gallinas, Moraleja de las Panaderas, and Fresno el Viejo. Additionally, it plans to continue expanding its cultivated area in the coming years.
Since its foundation in 2008, Grupo Pistacyl has been a pioneer in pistachio cultivation in the region, as well as in the marketing of derived products such as pistachio paste and the first pistachio oil from Castilla y León, both of which are highly nutritious and entirely natural. It has also distinguished itself by offering natural pistachios, without roasting or additives, thus preserving all their nutritional properties.
Since 2021, the company has begun distributing pistachios, both packaged and in bulk, in well-known supermarkets like El Corte Inglés and Carrefour; it also operates an online store under the brand Tierra de Sabor. In 2022, it started exporting to countries such as Ireland, France, Portugal, and Italy, and has established business contacts in overseas markets like Japan, Poland, and the United States, with the ambition to export 50 percent of its production, primarily to Europe.
