About us
Setton Pistachio of Terra Bella, Inc. is committed to the same passion for pistachios that started nearly 50 years ago.
Located in the heart of the San Joaquin valley in California’s Central Valley, Setton Pistachio of Terra Bella, Inc. is one of America’s largest pistachio growers and processors. As a vertically integrated pistachio company, Setton is focused on every step of the process, ensuring the top quality and value of our family’s pistachios.
It all started in 1959 with a bakery and a dream. The Setton brothers, Joshua and Morris, hoped that they could win over the taste buds of Brooklyn’s residents with delicious sponge cake and jelly donuts.
Years later, that dream became a passion for sharing gourmet food and specialty items that people wanted but couldn’t find in their local grocery store. In 1967, they opened their first gourmet food store on Kings Highway in Brooklyn and later grew to nine stores. During that time, the Setton brothers began selling packaged nuts and dried fruit to major retailers in the New York metropolitan area. In 1981, they expanded their operation by entering the wholesale business, selling nuts, dried fruits, seeds, trail mixes, and other specialty items.
Our main processing and production facility is located in Terra Bella, California, on a 80-acre site. The plant operates year-round, 24 hours a day, to ensure we offer our customers the freshest, highest quality products. In addition to the main Terra Bella facility, we operate a satellite facility just 7 miles away on a 20 acre site. Between the two facilities, we can process, store, package and ship more than 125 million pounds of pistachios annually, with room for further expansion.
