Pistachio: The “Green Gold” of Christmas 2025

This holiday season, red and gold are taking a backseat to green—specifically, pistachio green. Picard’s new Yule log highlights this luxurious ingredient, often called “green gold.” Inspired by the viral Dubai chocolate bar, the dessert places pistachio at the heart of the festive menu.
The log is a celebration of the nut’s unique properties. It uses pistachio in three ways: a crumbly biscuit, a smooth cream, and a crunchy element mixed with angel hair pastry. This triple threat ensures that the nutty flavor permeates every bite, supported by a framework of chocolate mousse.
For €28.99, customers are getting a dessert that feels opulent. Pistachio has historically been an expensive ingredient, associated with luxury sweets. Picard brings this opulence to the mass market without sacrificing the intensity of the flavor.
The popularity of this dessert reflects a shift towards more savory, complex sweets. The sugar content is balanced by the natural earthiness of the nuts. It is a mature, sophisticated flavor profile that appeals to adults.
This log is a tribute to the ingredient of the year. It allows the pistachio to shine in all its glory. For nut lovers, it is the golden ticket to a delicious Christmas.
