Saclà Classic Basil Pesto

Nature's Finest, authentically Italian Pesto

So authentically Italian, it should be driving a Vespa!

Why is our Classic Basil Pesto No.1? We think it starts with how our basil is grown, in fields drenched in Italian sunshine. These fresh, fragrant leaves are picked and pounded together to a traditional recipe with Parmigiano Reggiano PDO cheese, Pecorino cheese and pine nuts into our premium green Pesto.

Pop open a jar and let the fun begin! There are endless authentic Italian dinner delights in store. Spoon dollops across the top of your Friday night pizza, spread lashings over warm garlic bread, stir through al dente chicken tagliatelle or toss together with king prawns, rocket and linguine for quick and tasty dishes in minutes.
