Over powering with too much GARLIC!
We have bought this Basil pesto many times before and really loved it. Unfortunately, you seem to have changed the quantities of the ingredients, so that the last couple of times we have bought this product ALL we could taste was the GARLIC, GARLIC and yet more GARLIC, such a shame. It is still green in appearance as one would expect of a BASIL pesto!! But unfortunately, the ratio of the basil to the garlic is now sooooo imbalanced the basil really doesn't stand a chance... so we won't be buying this pesto again!

Recipes
Nigella Lawson's Pea & Pesto Soup
Providing something hot to eat is the hardest challenge (on the run), and although flasks of soup provide scope for spillage and mess, I fell they are worth the risk. This soup - my all-time most-requested - has the bonus, too of being so simple to make, you can do it while you stumble about the kitchen at breakfast. While you can make it with pesto from a jar, the difference when you use the "fresh" stuff in a tub that you find in chiller cabinets in the supermarkets is astonishing. I think soups taste better made in a blender rather than a food processor, and it's best to use a blender which has a central plug in the lid that you can remove to stop pressure building up - which, in turn, prevents you getting soup all over you or your walls. That would not be a good start to the day.

so fresh tasting!
i have been used to buying jar pesto, for whenever i tried to relive my grandmothers green pasta ,pesto pasta, and this is as close as it gets to hers, so tasty and fresh. my kids who normally don't eat much of it, cleaned their bowls. maybe its not as 'powerful' as some people might like but for us it is one of the best. good value too!
