Very oily - what's happened?

Being a fan of the standard Sacla pesto sauce, I thought I would try this. Both jars purchased were incredibly oily - would not purchase again.

Great cupboard standby

I love this. It's never going to be as good as the one you make yourself when fresh basil is around but it's an excellent storecupboard standby. I used to add more parmesan to it but now I've decided that it's pretty well balanced and use it regularly on pasta and in soup

Gone downhill - too oily

Used to be good but much more oily than the non-organic equivalent. Will not be buying again.

the pesto the Italians use

I bought this after reading a quote from a basil farmer that this is the pesto they use at home. It's definitely up there in the great supermarket pestos of all time. Personally I think it's a bit over salted, and I think someone should tell sacla. If I want salt in my pesto I can always add some. Please Sacla, put less salt in! There is a bit of roughage from the basil leaves as well, which is what the other reviewer meant by 'hairy' and which could probably be dealt with. But overall it's a great pesto - my second favourite after the fresh stuff that you buy in the deli in Camogli near the train station. And my son loves it so it's a store cupboard staple for us.

Trofie with Basil Pesto, Marscarpone and Artichokes

A tasty evening meal for the family or a lazy lunch, served at room temperature. The Pesto and tender artichokes compliment each other perfectly, and the creamy marscarpone coats the Trofie beautifully.
