ABOUT THE DISH
Basil pesto is a staple of the Italian Riviera, and particularly the city of Genova (which is where pesto alla genovese derives its name). Indeed, basil pesto was a childhood favourite of our founder,  Alessandro, who grew up in the region. Inspired by the recipe prepared for him by his nonna, Maddalena, our pesto is packed with vibrant basil, extra virgin olive oil, pine nuts and two Italian cheeses. Pair with our fresh rigatoni pasta for a deliciously authentic dish.

WOW

I ummed and aarred about paying £6 for a small portion of pesto but oohh my was I pleased I took a leap of faith. This is the best pesto Ive ever had and that includes making my own. Totally delicious and I like that the pine nuts are left whole. I urge you to try it honestly you will be glad you did.

Lovely, lovely, lovely!

Lovely lovely lovely! I usually make my own pesto using walnuts as pine nuts are so exorbitantly priced and it’s pretty good if I say so my self😂. I bought this on offer to try and then paired it with the fresh pasta company’s butternut squash ravioli….Amazing. Not too oily has lots of whole pine nuts threaded through it. Really fresh with a nice kick of pepper. I did however, find it too well seasoned with salt. Reduce this salt level and it would be even more amazing.

Twins loved it

My 5 year old twins loved this pesto and it made for a quick and easy post swimming lesson meal. I've knocked a star off as it is very expensive for what it is.
