Here's how we make our basil pesto
The main ingredient in our basil pesto, also known as pesto verde, is fresh basil. It is finely chopped and gives the pesto its fresh, green flavor. This creates the distinctive taste that makes our pesto verde so special.
The recipe is then finely balanced with cashews, Pecorino, Grana Padano, and Parmigiano Reggiano. This brings together the intense freshness of the basil, the subtle nutty nuance of the cashews, and the savory depth of the cheeses. Garlic rounds out the whole dish with a hearty note, transforming the individual ingredients into a Pesto Verde that leaves you craving the next bite.
