Portofino Fine Food Genoese Pesto with PDO Basil 3 x 100 g

By opening a jar of Portofino pesto you will not only smell the scent of the best Ligurian tradition, but you will be able to savor the emotion that this magical place can give. Its recipe is simple and precious at the same time: it is a raw sauce that preserves all the flavour of its ingredients. It is obtained by crushing Genoese basil, pine nuts and garlic, all seasoned with Grana Padano, Parmigiano Reggiano, Pecorino and olive oil. The first example of pesto dates back to Roman Empire, while the first official recipe date back to the 19th century, although it certainly draws inspiration from older sauces already popular in Liguria during the Genoese Maritime Republic. Ready-made condiment for pasta, also suitable as aperitif for the preparation of croutons and finger food.
