Before a long drive north, my mom and I popped into Pistacia Vera to snag some yummy treats for the trip. We have no idea that we would end up getting full tour of the kitchen, but are so thankful that we did. It was amazing to hear about the process, the amount of detail, and the long hours that go into making these small pastries on a daily-basis. The in-house kitchen allows the bakery to serve their pastries fresh from the racks- I'm convinced you can taste the difference.
