Product Overview 

Organico Organic Genovese Pesto is a traditional Italian sauce crafted in Liguria, the birthplace of pesto. This full-flavoured blend combines fresh, organic basil grown by a small family farm with rich extra virgin olive oil, creating a vibrant green base. The addition of Parmigiano Reggiano and Pecorino cheeses, both made with animal rennet, lends a deep umami flavour, while cashews and pine nuts provide a creamy texture and nutty undertone. Garlic and sea salt enhance the overall taste, resulting in a well-balanced, aromatic pesto. Free from artificial additives and preservatives, this gluten-free sauce is ideal for those seeking authentic Italian flavours made with organic ingredients. Whether stirred into pasta, spread on crusty bread, or used as a dip, Organico's Genovese Pesto offers a taste of Italy in every jar. Please note, due to the inclusion of animal rennet in the cheeses, this product is not suitable for vegetarians.
