The original pesto is a cold sauce made from basil and cheese, enriched with pine nuts, garlic and extra virgin olive oil. The ingredients are crushed and combined into an even mixture. The tools traditionally used are mortar and pestle, hence its name. In other areas of Italy, such as Sicily, its recipe includes pistachio instead of basil

 

 This versatile sauce can be used on just about everything, from pasta to sandwiches to salads. We offer also a Pesto sauce based on renowned Sicilian pistachio kernels.
