 Pistachio Paste Great FlavorJan 19, 2009
By Lynn Geyer
I bought Love n Bake Pistachio Paste for the first time last year at truffle making time and was delighted with the flavor. I've been making home made chocolate truffles from scratch for over 20 years, normally (in recent years) using Love n Bake Praline (hazelnut) Paste and decided to try pistachio on a batch. It was/is delicious. Someone's review mentioned the oil on top when the can is first opened, but that's the nature of the product. Both praline and pistachio MUST be stirred which is no easy chore since both are so thick. Worth the effort, though...for the quality of the product and the great flavoring. Plus you get a little upper body workout to counter the calories of the goodies you're creating! ><>

Not a substitute for Bronte pistachio pasteApr 07, 2011
By Aaron
I bought this hoping it could be used in place of the more expensive Bronte pistachio paste in David Lebovitz's Pistachio Gelato recipe. Apparently pistachio paste is not as standardized as peanut butter. I used the same amount as was called for in the recipe, but it was far too strong and had an unpleasant aftertaste. I would never attempt to substitute this for Bronte paste, despite the higher price of the Bronte paste. I gave this 5 stars because it isn't a fair comparison. It smelled great when opened, and had I used it on bread or in another recipe, I'm sure it would have tasted wonderful. I had to give this review though to warn others who might want to save some money on their Pistachio Gelato.

 Green almond paste?Apr 23, 2011
By A. Becker
If you want everything to taste like very strong almond, with a green color, then buy this. If you are looking for something that tastes like pistachio, keep looking. Since you can not return this, make sure that you really want almond flavor in a different nut base, otherwise you might be disappointed. Yes, it does have a puddle of oil on top, but that can easily be stirred in, like old fashioned peanut butter. The almond flavor is not something that you can do anything about.

This is a required ingredient in a cake recipe by Susan Tierney Cockburn that I wanted to try. Susan's recipe can be found here on her February 20th post:

I ordered the Pistachio Nut Paste and baked the cake for my family. It was delicious! Not one crumb was wasted. If you love chocolate and pistachio nuts, you owe it to yourself to try this wonderful recipe.
If you are concerned about purchasing 3 cans, there are many more fabulous recipes using this fine paste. Several can be found here: [...]
Also a simple Bing search produced many results. Happy baking!

By M. Wong
I put it into gelato/ice cream and cookies. they all tasted like almond... although, I don't really have a good baseline besides roasted pistachio, so may be that's what it actually tastes like...
