Genuine Calabrian Pesto

Today we take you on a journey to discover a culinary treasure that blends tradition and genuineness: our Genuine Calabrian Pesto. Made with passion and care, this special version of the original pesto contains no preservatives or dyes, only fresh and wholesome ingredients.

Our unique recipe highlights Mediterranean flavors thanks to a blend of fresh basil leaves (50%), extra virgin olive oil, almonds, tomato, pecorino cheese, chili pepper, salt, and garlic. Each ingredient is carefully chosen to ensure the highest quality and freshness, reflecting our 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 Genuine Calabrian Pesto is the result of artisanal craftsmanship that respects nature’s timing and the true tastes of Calabria.

How to prepare a perfect plate of pasta with Genuine Calabrian Pesto:

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

1. Cook the pasta in plenty of boiling salted water. Follow the cooking times indicated on the package to achieve pasta cooked to the bite.
2. Meanwhile, prepare the pesto. If needed, thin our Genuine Calabrian Pesto with a spoonful of the pasta cooking water to get a creamier consistency.
3. Drain the pasta and transfer it directly into a large bowl.
4. Add the pesto to the hot pasta, stirring gently until well blended.
5. Serve immediately with a sprinkle of grated pecorino cheese and, for those who like, a pinch more chili pepper.
