Pesto alla Genovese Collection

Pesto Genovese Collezione It, in a 130g format, is an authentic immersion in the heart of Ligurian tradition. This condiment, whose flavour has remained unchanged since the mid-19th century, is the result of a rigorous selection of high-quality ingredients: DOP basil, olive oil, Grana Padano DOP, Pecorino Romano DOP, pine nuts, garlic and salt. The history of pesto is a fascinating journey that spans the centuries. Its origins, in fact, are much older than one might imagine. Already in ancient Rome, "moretum" was prepared, a mixture of aromatic herbs, garlic, oil and cheese, described by Virgil. In the Middle Ages, we then find the "agliata", a mixture of garlic and walnuts, another ancestor of pesto. The current recipe has been consolidated since the mid-19th century, thanks to the passion and dedication of artisans who have been able to pass on the tradition to the present day. Collezione It has chosen to collaborate with a manufacturer who, since 1986, has been dedicated to the artisanal production of pesto. With passion, dedication and innovation, the company has been able to evolve over time, combining tradition with research and experimentation. The result is a pesto with a perfect balance between artisanal flavor and industrial production, capable of conquering the most demanding palates. Pesto Genovese Collezione It is a versatile condiment, ideal for preparing classic linguine with pesto, but also for enriching soups, boiled meats, lasagna and pizzas.
