Description of the Product

Pesto is a typical Ligurian seasoning, traditionally used to flavour Pasta.

It’s a raw sauce, a mixture in wich the ingredients are cold blended, not cooked.

The essential ingredients are: basil, oil, pine nuts, garlic and Grana Padano cheese.

To safeguard the freshness and the organoleptic characteristics of the raw materials, and to have full control of the productive chain, Frantoio Venturino in the 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 destinated to the pesto production or placed in the cold stores to be used in productions outsides the Summer season.

The ingredients of the Pesto with Basilico Genovese PDO - classic recipe - F.lli Semeria are all of very high quality like the Extra Virgin olive oil and the Basilico Genovese PDO, bought from supplier friends who have their fields near our production site. The parfum and the intense flavour of fresh basil, as well as the typical brilliant colour of the F.lli Semeria Pesto, are the result of the quality of the used raw materials but also of the fine-tuning of a production process that does not provide any pasteurization (that gives stress to all the raw materials, with negative consequences for the taste, flavour and colour), without risks for the consumer and that ensures a shelf-life of 16 months.

Ideal to flavour pasta, trofie, dumplings and Lasagne, it is also used (expecially in the Anglo-Saxon countries) as a spread on bruschetta, sandwiches and to dress salad.

For a perfect result we suggest to dilute it as needed with the pasta cooking water.
