Saclà Organic Basil Pesto

Nature's Finest, authentically Italian Pesto

Organic Basil Pesto is as authentically Italian as our Classic Basil Pesto and even greener!

Our organic farmers in Liguria, Italy pick the fresh fragrant basil leaves and transform them, with vegetarian cheese, pine nuts, cashews and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil into our perfect Pesto within 24 hours. You can taste the freshness.

What’s the perfect pasta to pair with our Organic Vegetarian Basil Pesto? We love trofie and linguine. Try something different with Pesto alla Genovese where Pesto is folded through green beans and potatoes and our Watercress and Pea Risotto when comfort food is required.

FAQ

Please browse our Frequently Asked Questions below, where you'll find answers to many of the most common queries.

Most traditional Pesto varieties are made with Parmigiano Reggiano PDO cheese and Pecorino cheese, which are made with animal rennet. Our recipe is made with Italian organic vegetarian cheese, so it is vegetarian friendly and packed full of flavour.

Sacla’ Organic Vegetarian Pesto is made with certified organic ingredients, meaning they are grown without synthetic pesticides, fertilisers, GMOs, or artificial additives.

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

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

Sacla’ Pesto is The Nation’s Favourite Pesto and 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.
