Compagnia Sanremo Genovese Basil Pesto D.O.P. — 6.7 oz Jar
Product description
Made with Genovese basil D.O.P., this pesto is intensely aromatic and crafted in a traditional Italian style. The recipe combines extra virgin olive oil with cashew nuts, pine nuts, Grana Padano D.O.P., Pecorino Romano D.O.P., garlic, and salt to deliver a full-bodied green sauce. Packaged in a 6.7 oz jar, it’s ready to use straight from the jar.
Use this pesto to dress spaghetti, gnocchi, and lasagna, spoon it over grilled salmon or chicken, or spread it on toast and crackers for a quick snack. The presence of both Grana Padano and Pecorino Romano D.O.P. gives it a savory, cheesy backbone, while the nut blend and EVOO provide a smooth, rich mouthfeel.

Full-flavored pesto that satisfies
After my diabetes diagnosis I’ve missed bold tastes. I toss chickpea pasta with a little EVOO and this pesto — it’s delicious, and the chickpea pasta adds extra protein. Also great on salmon and chicken!

Appreciate the clean ingredient list
Glad to find a pesto without seed oils. Harder to find clean formulations lately. Tastes well balanced and quite enjoyable.

Reliable, tasty option
Fast meal solution and one of the better pestos I’ve tried. Good aroma and flavor — I usually keep several jars on hand. Recommended.

Works for my garlic allergy
I have garlic and other sensitivities; this was the only pesto I found without garlic. Flavor is acceptable and a bit saltier than I expected. The marketing overstated things, but the label made the contents clear.

Healthy, clean oil base
Good pick if you want a pesto without seed oils. It isn’t quite the same as some classic pestos in intensity, but it smells wonderful and delivers solid value for what you get.

Disappointed — too salty and oily
Flavor came off bland and dominated by oil and salt. Way too much salt for my taste and the jar felt small. I didn’t enjoy it.
