Today we take you to discover a gastronomic excellence that combines tradition and authenticity: our Pesto Genuino Calabrese. Prepared with passion and care, this special version of the original pesto contains no preservatives or colorings, only fresh and genuine ingredients.

Our unique recipe highlights Mediterranean flavors thanks to a combination of fresh basil leaves (50%), extra virgin olive oil, almonds, tomato, pecorino cheese, chili pepper, salt, and garlic. Each ingredient is carefully selected to ensure the highest quality and freshness, reflecting the love for our land and its culinary traditions.

This pesto is perfect for dressing pasta, enriching bruschetta, or enhancing the taste of meats and fish. Simple, versatile, and incredibly flavorful, our Pesto Genuino Calabrese is the result of artisanal processing that respects the timing of nature and the authentic flavors of Calabria.

How to prepare a perfect dish of pasta with Pesto Genuino Calabrese:

To best enhance the flavors of our pesto, we recommend using short pasta, such as trofie, fusilli, or penne rigate. These shapes capture the pesto well, ensuring every bite is full of flavor.

1. Cook the pasta in plenty of boiling salted water. Follow the cooking times indicated on the package to obtain al dente pasta.
2. Meanwhile, prepare the pesto. If necessary, dilute our Pesto Genuino Calabrese with a spoonful of pasta cooking water to achieve a creamier consistency.
3. Drain the pasta and transfer it directly into a large bowl.
4. Add the pesto to the hot pasta, gently mixing until well combined.
5. Serve immediately with a sprinkle of grated pecorino cheese and, for those who like it, a pinch of extra chili pepper.
