Pacific Foods is expanding its industry-leading Barista Series lineup with the debut of Pistachio, a smooth, velvety plant-based milk designed to complement coffee in both hot and cold applications. Developed in collaboration with  professional baristas, the new pistachio variety brings the series’ signature performance and balance to one of today’s fastest-growing café trends.   

Pistachio milk is on the rise, celebrated for its nutty sweetness and creamy texture that steams  beautifully for latte art. Pistachio milk has grown 27.3% over the past year, with a 57.6%  increase in social media mentions, underscoring its growing popularity among consumers. Research also shows 13% of consumers are willing to pay more for pistachio milk and 30% are more likely to visit cafés offering it.   

Like every variety in the Barista Series lineup, Pistachio was designed with professional performance in mind, steaming to a velvety microfoam, never separating and maintaining a balanced flavor that complements rather than overwhelms coffee. Beyond its technical performance, it brings exceptional versatility across the menu. Its subtly rich yet balanced profile shines in everything from pistachio lattes and iced shaken espressos to pistachio cold foam over cold brew. It also pairs well with Colombian, Ethiopian and Kenyan roasts, giving baristas endless ways to create signature drinks that stand out.   

It’s also vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, and carrageenan-free, aligning with evolving customer  preferences for clean-label, plant-based ingredients.     

Pacific Foods Barista Series Pistachio is now available through foodservice distributors  nationwide.
