PESTO FAQ's

Is it safe for me to eat Pesto if I am pregnant?

When you buy premium Pesto such as Sacla’ Pesto, it’s completely safe to eat during pregnancy. The main ingredients in our Classic Basil Pesto are basil, garlic, pine nuts, oil, salt and hard Italian cheese. Whilst unpasteurised cheese is not recommended during pregnancy, cheese used in Sacla’ Pesto is pasteurised, making it safe to eat even while pregnant.

Is Pesto pasteurised?

Once the carefully selected, high-quality ingredients in Sacla’ Pesto have been expertly combined in the correct proportions; the mixture is dispensed into jars. These jars are then vacuum sealed for a perfect airtight seal, before being pasteurised for your protection using a mild heat treatment.

Does Pesto freeze well?

Sacla’ Pesto can be stored in a home freezer for up to one month without any noticeable loss of flavour. Pesto can be frozen for longer (up to 6 months) but will lose some flavour in this time. When used in a sauce or marinade for example, this will hardly be noticeable.

How long does Pesto keep in the fridge?

As Pesto is pasteurised, there is no need to store unopened jars of Sacla’ Pesto in the fridge. Simply use them before their ‘Best Before’ date. Opened jars should be kept in the fridge, and can be used safely for up to 2 weeks without risk or noticeable loss of flavour.

Where can I buy Sacla’ Pesto

Sacla’ Pesto is widely available in all major supermarkets although the range will vary by store and location. When you want to buy Pesto online, simply visit Sacla.co.uk, where the complete Sacla’ Pesto range is available to buy. This is where you can be sure to find the best value for money, as special ‘bundle deals’ are available exclusively online so you can stock-up on all your favourites. Sacla’ Wild Garlic Pesto is also only available online. We also have some online exclusive variants like Wild Garlic and Black Olive.


A limited number of stores stock the following Sacla’ Pesto products: Classic Basil Pesto (large 290g jar), Classic Basil Pesto Pots, Truffle Pesto, Chargrilled Aubergine Pesto, Roasted Pepper Pesto, Black Olive Pesto, Coriander Pesto and Reduced Fat Tomato Pesto so it’s best to order these on sacla.co.uk.

Why do so many people enjoy Sacla’ Pesto? The unique, authentic taste has a lot to do with it, of course. So does their versatility, as they can be used to add new and different flavours to so many recipes. It’s also because the Sacla’ Pesto range includes options to suit all kinds of Pesto lovers. For example, if you are a vegetarian, you can happily eat any of our Pesto products apart from Classic Basil and Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto. (These two varieties include cheese made using a traditional method involving animal rennet.) All our Pesti are made to recipes with no ingredients that contain gluten.
