Description of the Product

Pesto is a typical Ligurian sauce, traditionally used to season pasta.

Pesto with artichokes under Venturino brand is done with only top quality ingredients; artichokes are only of first choise, ricotta-cheese is 100% italian and the basil is Genoese PDO (Protected De­signation of Origin), bought by friends suppliers who have their fields just a few km from our factory.

To safeguard the freshness and the organoleptic charcteristics od the raw materials, and to have full control of the productive chain, Frantoio Venturino in 2010 has implemented a fresh basil production line by which in the Summer season produces in-house a semifinished product (a mixture of basil, oil and salt) using fresh Basilico Genovese PDO. The semifinished product could be immediately destined to the pesto production or placed in the can stores to be used in productions outside of the Summer season.

With the characteristic bitter-sweet taste of the artichoke, this pesto is ideal to flavour pasta and it is also used (especially in the Anglo-Saxon countries) as a spread on bruschetta, sandwiches and to dress salad.
