Cult pistachio spread ‘finally' lands at Woolworths
If you've spent any time on the foodie side of the internet lately, you'll have noticed the cult following around Pistachio Papi – the pistachio spread that's taken social media by storm.
Like many, I've found myself lost in an algorithmic rabbit hole, endlessly scrolling through food creators' accounts as they taste-test this creamy, green-hued sensation.
After being mesmerised by slow-motion dollops and ASMR cooking videos, I set out to find the viral spread – only to discover it's not exactly a staple on local supermarket shelves.
Desperate, I considered heading to Yo-Chi and skipping the yoghurt altogether, and just filling my cup with Pistachio Papi – one of the few places you can get your hands on it outside Uber Eats or Amazon. But let's be honest, that might raise a few eyebrows.
Well, pistachio fans, rejoice! Pistachio Papi is officially launching in Woolworths this month.
The supermarket giant announced on social media this week that it will be stocking Pistachio Papi Crunchy Spread (180g) and Pistachio Papi Smooth Spread (200g) from June 16, both online and in stores nationwide.
'At Woolworths, we're always looking to introduce exciting new flavours and products that inspire our customers,' a Woolworths spokesperson told news.com.au.
'We've noticed a real buzz around pistachio lately – it's popping up in everything from desserts and snacks to savoury dishes – so it's great to bring the popular Pistachio Papi spread to our customers this month.'
Fans were quick to celebrate the news. 'About time Woolies got on board pistachio spread,' said one eager shopper.
'FINALLY,' quipped another.
Others predicted the spread would fly off the shelves: 'I already know the Pistachio Papi will be out of stock forever,' one person commented.
When The Grocery Geek AU re-shared the news on Facebook, there was one burning question – the price.
With a premium ingredient list boasting 16 per cent pistachios, Pistachio Papi doesn't come cheap.
Online, the spread typically retails for $19 a jar, though Woolworths is yet to reveal its price.
'It's so goooood,' raved one fan. '$19 a pot though. I wonder if it'll be lower at Woolies'. Another agreed: 'Not cheap, but OMG it's so good'.
This isn't Woolworths' first foray into pistachio mania.
The supermarket has previously launched a Pistachio Cheesecake, which saw 80 per cent of stock sell out within three weeks, and an exclusive range of Messina gelato tubs, with Pistachio Praline emerging as the most popular flavour.
And Woolies isn't the only retailer jumping on the pistachio bandwagon.
Coles has also embraced the trend, recently launching the Coles Finest Hand Finished Pistachio Cake.
The 1.2kg cake, which serves 18 and retails for $40, features a double-layered vanilla base filled and topped with pistachio cream cheese buttercream – and it's already earning rave reviews online.
Food creator @nectoriouspapi described the buttercream as 'absolutely beautiful', adding, 'I could have a whole tub of that on its own'.
Meanwhile, @jazhandmade 's office taste test saw all five participants rate it extremely highly.

Katy Perry shakes off social media hate at triumphant opening Aus show
Australia gets Katy Perry because Katy Perry gets Australia. The pop superstar shook off the social media pile-ons of recent months to take a quintessential tall poppy potshot at herself at her opening Lifetimes concert in Sydney on Wednesday. When complaining of jetlagged tiredness, exacerbated by her daughter Daisy Dove waking her at 5am on the morning of her first Australian gig, Perry said she had come prepared for the challenge. 'You can't tell I'm tired because I got fresh Botox for Australia!' she declared to huge cheers from the audience. And the scream-o-meter, the true gauge of a concert's success, remained pushing into the red for the entirety of her two-hour neon pop dream at Qudos Bank Arena. They laughed again with her when she shared an on-stage wardrobe emergency, calling for an assistant to unzip her costume 'because I've been eating too many Tim Tams.' The last time Perry was down under last September, she roared at the MCG for a generally well-received AFL grand final performance worth a reported $5 million pay cheque. Her culture stocks in Australia proved to be buoyant when she announced her Lifetimes tour, with more than 170,000 tickets to 15 concerts in five capital cities selling out instantly. Since then she has been the subject of savage social media pile-ons for missteps, from working with controversial producer Dr Luke on her 143 record, and its lacklustre chart performance, to that Blue Origin celebrity space flight folly. But put Perry on a stage, in front of a sold-out crowd of true believers, the day after an epically suburban stop at a western Sydney shopping mall during rehearsals, and it is abundantly apparent the oversized outrage hasn't downsized the devotion of her fans. Their ranks have been bolstered by a sizeable contingent of tweens and teens who lapped up Perry's high-flying, fluoro-lit spectacle which was humanised by a generosity of spirit. The fans dressed to impress their idol in the costumes of her various eras, and squealed with delight when she launched into the dance breaks and light-sabre battles which were mocked online as cringey and awkward when the tour opened in Mexico in April, but make perfect sense within the context of the Lifetimes show. After all, she's playing a half-human, half-robot character in this video game-inspired concert, battling villainous machines on her mission to restore girl power and all the lovey-dovey stuff to counter the nasty world order. One of the highlights of the show happened during the Choose Your Own Adventure segment - which appears to be more pre-determined than granting the sign requests held up by fans in the front rows - when she brought fans on stage to perform Thinking of You from her 2008 album One of the Boys. The 18-year-old Left Shark superfan Elliott, who brought his two younger sisters and cousin to the show, was declared an MVP for his pop stewardship of his family, as the cute group from western Sydney joined her to play chicken egg-shakers during the song. It was a suitably heart-warming moment in a show that, by its hi-tech nature, is tightly choreographed. The Lifetimes show's intention is pure pop escapism soundtracked by a career-spanning collection of hits which have spun more than 25 billion streams and counting - albeit with a little too many of the misses from the 143 record. The Dark Horse pop queen may not possess the vocal chops and choreography skills of Beyonce, or the edgy dark pop drama of Billie Eilish, but this seasoned entertainer knows how to put on a great pop show. And she's got 14 more of them to perform in Australia before this leg of her world tour wraps at the end of the month.

Australia and the European Union determined to seal trade deal as talks revived
Australia and the European Union have revived talks for a sweeping free trade agreement as the Albanese government aims to respond to a "rapidly changing global environment" on tariffs. Australia's trade minister Don Farrell met with the European Commissioner for Trade Maroš Šefčovič met on the sidelines of a summit hosted by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in Paris on Wednesday, local time. "Both Australia and the EU recognise that now is the time to strengthen our economic partnership, and we're working through the remaining issues to try and finalise the deal," Mr Farrell said. A pact with the region was "about building economic resilience in a rapidly changing global environment," he added. It came as US President Donald Trump imposed 50 per cent tariffs on steel and aluminium imports on Wednesday, leaving America's trading partners reeling from the fresh uncertainty. Mr Sefcovic told journalists "we believe we can achieve substantial progress this year" on an EU-Australia free trade deal, after negotiations have been on ice since 2023. Australian officials could not put a solid timeline on when a pact would be signed, but agriculture is believed to be one of the sticking points. Australia has previously offered to put the removal of its luxury car tax on the table but wants greater access to European markets for lamb and beef exports. However, some big meat-producing EU member countries like France have reservations about opening the bloc's markets to potential major competitors like Australia. Such concerns are also holding up talks with South American countries. The advantages of an EU deal include increased investment, stronger supply chain links, education ties and export opportunities, Mr Farrell said. Earlier on Wednesday, the United States set a deadline for countries to send their best offer in trade negotiations. In February, Mr Trump raised steel and aluminium tariffs to a flat 25 per cent "without exceptions or exemptions", in one of his first moves to aid the struggling domestic industries. The tariffs would apply to millions of tonnes of steel and aluminium imports from Australia, Canada, Brazil, Mexico and other countries that had previously been able to enter the US duty-free. On Saturday, Mr Farrell, said that Australia's messaging throughout the upheaval has been consistent and clear. "These tariffs are unjustified and not the act of a friend," he said. Asked what leverage Australia might have to pressure Mr Trump into changing course, Mr Farrell reiterated the government's position that it would not be in Australia's best interests to retaliate. "We're going to coolly and calmly argue our case for the removal of these tariffs," he said. "They don't do what President Trump claims they will do, and we believe that free and fair trade requires [their] removal." ABC/Reuters
