IL CAPO UNCOVERED Ep. 7: Making Pistachio Crema

A behind the scenes look at how John D'Alessandro (Owner, IL CAPO) makes his branded Pistachio Crema. Pistachio Crema is a custom liquor that John makes in-house. The ingredients consist of: grain alcohol, shelf-stable milk, pure cane sugar, all natural ingredients (gluten free).

Some things aren't rushed.

They're soaked, stirred, tasted, and trusted.

This is Pistachio Crema at IL CAPO, made in house here in Brookfield, Connecticut.

What you're watching here is more than a recipe…

…it’s John in the lab, starting with raw pistachios, pure cane sugar, shelf-stable milk, and grain alcohol, building something from scratch the same way this place was built. Slowly. Intentionally. With care.

No shortcuts.

All natural ingredients.

Gluten free.

This crema doesn't exist anywhere else because it was never meant to. It was meant to live here. Behind the scenes. Passed hand to hand. Shared at the end of a meal the way Nonna would pour something special and say, "Sit. Stay a little longer."

That's what IL CAPO Uncovered is about.

Pulling back the curtain.

Showing the craft.

Giving an inside peek at the heart behind the table.

Thanks for being part of the story. We're grateful you're here. This is what the IL CAPO Famiglia is all about.
