Pesto alla Genovese

The Genovese Pesto is our flagship, prepared following the traditional recipe. During the processing, it does not occur the pasteurization and this is why our pesto has a bright green color. The manufacturing involves the only use of Genovese POD Basil, and occurs in a few hours from its harvest in order to preserve all the plant’s properties. The main ingredients are: olive oil, Genovese POD Basil, Grana Padano, Pecorino Romano, garlic, salt, pine nuts.

Use: Our Genovese Pesto is used to season first courses, such as potato gnocchi, trofie avvantaggiate with potatoes and green beans, Genovese minestrone soup and other types of pasta, like trofiette, bavette, linguine, trenette, tagliatelle, tagliolini and lasagne. It is recommended to use it cold, adding a little cooking water and a trickle of olive oil. It is also good for exalting the flavour of tomato sauce, pasta salads, bruschetta, raw, gratin and grilled vegetables, boiled potatoes, or in combination with fresh and soft cheeses.
