A Classic Italian Pesto

Our pesto sticks to the traditional ingredients of fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, parmesan cheese, and olive oil. Classically, they were grinded together in a mortar & pestle, hence the name ‘pesto’. With this classic line of Mediterranean ingredients, pesto, aside from being delicious, contains a significant amount of vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, protein, flavonoids, and unsaturated, healthy fats.

Note: we do sell pesto in 8 oz ($5.95) and 12 oz ($8.95) to be taken home with you. You can use them for your own pasta, mix them with greek yogurt for a great vegetable dip, use it for pizza sauce, or use it as a chicken or fish rub. The possibilities for pesto are massive!
