Frantoi Cutrera Sicilian Basil Pesto, 190g

Sicilian basil pesto is your shortcut for fast, flavourful meals. Made with locally grown ingredients, it has a bold, fresh flavour. You can pair it with pasta, spread it on crostini or spoon it over balls of creamy mozzarella. Is this your first time buying from us?

Frantoi Cutrera uses Sicilian ingredients for a twist on Genovese pesto. Pine nuts are replaced by almonds and pistachios, giving it a unique nutty flavour. Instead of Parmesan, they use Cosacavaddu - a Sicilian cheese with a similar taste profile.

The sauce is brought together with Frantoi Cutrera’s extra virgin olive oil. It transforms the ingredients into a smooth, spoonable pesto. You can smell the bright aroma of fresh basil as soon as you open the jar.

This pesto has a bold but well-balanced flavour. Fresh basil is complemented by toasted nuts and salty aged cheese. Toss it with cooked pasta for an instant Italian supper. You can add a splash of cooking water to help it coat spaghetti, trofie and busiate.

Basil pesto is a delicious topping for bruschetta and crostini. Top with cherry tomatoes and mini mozzarella balls. Add a drizzle of olive oil and serve with drinks before dinner.

Store in a cool and dry place, away from sources of light and heat.
