Connoisseur has launched Pistachio Gelato sticks, giving fans a new way to enjoy the popular flavour.
Once a regional Italian ingredient, pistachio has become a global flavour phenomenon, emerging as one of the fastest-growing flavour trends in the last year. Global search interest in pistachio has climbed 60% since 2019 (source: Google trends Analysis), while pistachio-related food content has amassed hundreds of millions of views across TikTok, signalling the flavour’s long-term momentum and cementing its cult status both online and off.
“Pistachio has well and truly earned its legendary status,” said Vanessa Mason, Senior Brand Manager at Connoisseur. “Australians can’t get enough of it, with the success of our Pistachio Gelato tub showing there was a clear opportunity to take this flavour to the next level.”
Following the breakout success of Connoisseur’s Pistachio Gelato 1L tub, ranked the #1 new product development in the ice cream category in the launch quarter (Circana, Australia Grocery Convenience, Dollars, Oct – Dec 2025), the brand has reimagining pistachio in a premium gelato stick format.
The new sticks are said to deliver indulgence on the go without compromising gelato craftsmanship. They features “smooth, velvety pistachio gelato”, encased in a rich, delicate choc layer with roasted pistachio pieces for added texture and depth. Refined and full of character, each bite is a tribute to La Dolce Vita – transporting consumers to the cobbled laneways of Italy.
“With recipes inspired by Italy’s most iconic dessert traditions, and a nod to what’s trending now, Connoisseur’s Pistachio Gelato stick delivers an elevated taste experience that celebrates flavour, craftsmanship and the simple pleasures in life,” said Ms Mason.
Connoisseur Pistachio Gelato sticks are available nationwide at leading supermarkets in 4-packs (RRP $12), and in loose-packs at Petrol and Convenience stores (RRP $6).
