PESTO - with Genoese basil DOP

This pesto comes directly from Liguria, where it is made in the Genoese style with DOP basil —that is, with protected designation of origin basil, the only variety that gives this classic its characteristic freshness. The texture is intentionally chunky, not a smooth, industrially produced product, and garlic is an essential part of the recipe.

In the glass, it displays a vibrant green color, and the aroma is immediately reminiscent of fresh herbs and garlic. It unfolds its flavor effortlessly over pasta—ideally trofie or trenette. It also works well as a base for bruschetta or as a seasoning over grilled vegetables. It pairs harmoniously with a light Ligurian white wine such as Vermentino or Pigato.
