6. Greece

Production: 11,000.00 tonnes

The most famous pistachios from Greece are grown and produced on the Island of Aegina, and they are also awarded by the European Commission as a Protected Designation of Origin product because of its exquisite taste and full kernel. Greek pistachios are also grown in the area of Lamia and in the are Makrakomi (East Attica). Same as in Italy, Greece pistachio production is not sufficient to satisfy Greeks demand, so they import pistachios from the US, as well. Greeks mainly eat pistachios fresh as a snack and use it less as an ingredient.
