Pesto Genovese

Forget about the mass-produced versions from the supermarket. With this Pesto Genovese from Frantoio Bianco, you get an unpasteurized taste experience that captures the breathtaking aroma of freshly picked basil and the soul of Ligurian cuisine.

A symphony of Italian ingredients

The secret to the intense flavor and rich, creamy texture lies in the carefully selected ingredients. This pesto is made without heating (uncooked), which preserves the vibrant green color and characteristic aromatic profile. The blend of DOP basil from Genoa, delicate extra virgin olive oil and the nutty depth of Parmigiano Reggiano DOP creates a balance that only a true pioneer of Liguria can master.

Serving suggestions:

• The classic: Fold it into freshly cooked trofie or gnocchi. Feel free to mix a little of the pasta water or a good olive oil into the pesto first to achieve the perfect creamy consistency.
• Gourmet touch: Use it as a flavoring for seafood. Try gnocchi with sautéed langoustines, topped with a generous spoonful of Pesto Genovese.
• Tapas & dip: Serve as a luxurious dip for freshly baked focaccia or as part of an exclusive charcuterie platter.

Technical details
