Pesto Ligure 180 gr.

Pesto Ligure is made by grinding basil leaves with olive oil, cheese, garlic, nuts and salt. The basil used carries the protected designation of origin Basilico Genovese. The defining characteristic is that the sauce is not cooked: the colour, aroma and flavour of the fresh leaf are therefore largely retained. The texture is thick and slightly grainy; it only binds once thinned with cooking water.

Several versions exist within the category: alongside the basil base there are versions without garlic, a red variant with dried tomato, a walnut sauce and a sage variant. Pesto Ligure tastes most distinctly of basil. The walnut sauce is creamier and milder, the tomato variant fuller and sweeter, the sage variant more resinous in aroma.
