 Manufacturing Process

Step 1: Mixing

• All dry ingredients (flour, sugar, milk solids, salt, leavening agents) are blended.

• Butter or shortening is added and creamed to form a light, fluffy mix.

• Pistachio paste, flavor, and color are incorporated.

• The dough is prepared to a smooth, pliable consistency with minimal water.

Step 2: Forming / Extrusion

• The dough is fed into a stick-forming machine or extruder.

• Long, thin stick shapes are formed (uniform diameter, typically 5–8 mm).

Step 3: Baking

• Sticks are baked in rotary or tunnel ovens at 180–200°C for 8–12 minutes.

• Controlled baking ensures even color and crisp texture.

Step 4: Cooling

• Baked sticks are cooled gradually to room temperature on cooling conveyors.

• Proper cooling prevents moisture absorption and breakage.

Step 5: Coating / Decoration (Optional)

• Once cooled, sticks may be half-dipped or fully coated with chocolate or pistachio cream.

• Coated sticks are set in cooling tunnels.

Step 6: Packaging

• Packed in moisture-resistant laminates or foil pouches to retain crispness.

• Often placed in PET jars, trays, or boxes for premium presentation.
