PORTOFINO - RED PESTO WITH DOP GENOESE BASIL - 3 X 100 G

Red pesto is a variant of the classic Pesto alla Genovese based on dried tomatoes, chilli pepper and basil.

By opening a jar of Portofino pesto you will not only smell the scent of the best Ligurian tradition, but you will be able to taste it the emotion that this magical place can give.

Its recipe is simple and precious at the same time: it is a raw sauce that preserves all the flavor of its ingredients. It is obtained by crushing Genoese basil, pine nuts and garlic, all seasoned with Grana Padano, Parmigiano Reggiano, Pecorino and olive oil.

The first example of pesto dates back to Roman times, while the first official recipe dates back to the nineteenth century, although it certainly draws inspiration from older sauces already widespread in Liguria during the Genoese maritime republic.

How to use: Ready-made condiment for pasta, also suitable as an aperitif served on croutons and finger food. Excellent as an accompaniment to meat.

Main ingredients: Rehydrated dried tomatoes (21%), PDO Genoese basil (10%), cashews, garlic, spicy chilli pepper. Gluten-free.

Long-life product.
