Ligurian Pesto Without Garlic

Price range: 6,50 € through 9,00 €

Ligurian Pesto Without Garlic has a bright and natural green color, typical of fresh unpasteurized basil. The consistency is creamy but slightly grainy thanks to the presence of pine nuts and seasoned cheese. The aroma releases intense notes of fresh basil, accompanied by the delicate scent of extra virgin olive oil and light nuances of pine nuts and cheese. The taste is rich and enveloping, with a balance between herbaceous freshness, the flavor of Parmigiano Reggiano and the softness of extra virgin olive oil.

Unpasterated Ligurian Pesto – Frantoio Sant’Agata d’Oneglia
The real Genoese pesto with PDO basil and ingredients of the Ligurian tradition
The unpasteurized Ligurian Pesto of the Sant’Agata Oil Mill contains in every jar the authentic scents of Liguria, thanks to the use of ingredients selected and processed according to tradition. Prepared with Basilico Genovese PDO, extra virgin olive oil, pine nuts and Parmigiano Reggiano PDO seasoned 30 months, it offers a perfect balance between aromatic freshness, creaminess and flavor. The choice not to pasteurize the product allows to preserve the bright green color of the basil and the natural intensity of the scents, keeping intact the original taste of the freshly prepared pesto. The result is a sauce with an intense and harmonious aromatic profile, which brings to the table the whole Ligurian tradition in a simple and authentic way. Perfect for seasoning fresh or dried pasta, it is also ideal for enriching bruschetta, salads, focaccia and Mediterranean dishes. For a typical Ligurian pesto pasta you can cook together with the pasta some potatoes cut into thin slices and a handful of green beans; once the pasta is drained, it is recommended to dilute the pesto with a couple of tablespoons of cooking water and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil to obtain a creamy and enveloping consistency.
