What is pesto?
A true flavour bomb
The star of Italian cuisine
In Italian cooking, pesto plays a major role—both as the star and as a supporting player that gives a dish character—and its uses are almost endless.
Antipasti and tapas: Pesto is essential on the tapas table and pairs perfectly with cheese, ham, and cured sausages.
Bread and bruschetta: Use it as a spread on freshly baked bread or as a topping for bruschetta to make a quick, delicious snack.
Pizza: Add a new dimension of flavour and colour to your pizza. Try replacing the traditional tomato sauce with pesto as the base on your pizza crust.
Pasta: Pesto and pasta are a match made in heaven. A simple spoonful can transform any pasta into a tasty dish.
Salads: Use it as a dressing for your salads. It adds an intense flavour, and you won’t need any other dressings.
Marinade for meat and fish: Pesto works as a fantastic marinade for meat and fish. It adds flavour and keeps the meat juicy during cooking.
Soups and stews: Add a spoonful of pesto to soups or stews to bring depth, flavour, and aromatic complexity to the dish.
Dip and sauce: Use it as a dip for vegetable sticks, or add a little extra virgin olive oil to create a delicious sauce.
