BIO ORTO Organic Basil Pesto - 180g (6.35oz)

The key to a perfect pesto lies in its balance, and this organic pesto from Bio Orto is the most beautifully balanced version we’ve ever had from a jar. It starts with deeply fragrant fresh basil and real PDO parmigiano reggiano—no second-rate imposters here. Add mild extra virgin olive oil (also organic, made in-house) and creamy Italian pine nuts, and you’ve got a piquant sauce like no other.

While pesto made with basil is known to have originated in Genoa in the middle of the 19 th century (that’s why you sometimes see it called pesto alla Genovese), the ancient method for preserving fresh greens with salt and oil dates back to the ancient Romans. Whether you use this pesto as a pasta sauce, sandwich spread, or beyond, you’d never know it’s not fresh from the garden.
