The pine nut comes from the fruits of the Stone Pine tree (Pinus pinea). It is a native pine of Southern Europe with its origins in Portugal, Spain, and North Africa. Known since ancient times, it was believed to have aphrodisiac properties. Not all pine seeds are edible.

It is rich in proteins and omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for the cardiovascular system. It contains significant amounts of zinc, contributing to the proper functioning of the reproductive and immune systems. It may help reduce appetite.

It is appreciated for its soft and almost creamy texture, its sweet and mild, spicy flavor, and its light resinous aroma. It can be eaten raw or roasted and is widely used in cooking. It is a key ingredient in the Mediterranean diet and is used to make Italian pesto sauce.
