The pesto range by Polli is inspired by 150 years of expertise and passion for Italian cuisine. Their 100% Italian fresh basil is cold-pressed within 24 hours of harvesting to lock in all of the qualities of fresh basil. They then add extra virgin olive oil and high quality Italian cheese to respect the authentic Genoese recipe. Polli's pesto alla Genovese (otherwise known as basil pesto) is the ideal ingredient for mouth-watering summer pasta dishes, or for enriching your winter minestrone. In fact, in Liguria, pesto is a fundamental ingredient for vegetable broth which is what gives their soup that fresh summer flavour.
- A beloved classic of regional Italian cuisine, pesto alla Genovese is a crowd pleaser
- For casual dinners on the terrace by the sea in summer, enjoy its fresh aroma and classic flavours, just like what you'd expect from a traditional homemade pesto
- Perfect for gnocchi and wholewheat mezze penne rigate
- Pairs beautifully with freshly made trofie pasta, potatoes, green beans, and Parmesan cheese
