Pesto is a typical Italian sauce. Its name derives from the verb “pestare”, i.e. to smash, to crush, as it is characteristic for all its variants, that the ingredients in the sauce are smashed up. In the assortment of Filippo Berio you can find on the Hungarian market two traditional varieties: the classic green pesto and the red variant with dried tomato.
- Main ingredients of the classic green pesto are: fresh basil, garlic, parmesan cheese, pine nuts, olive oil and spices.
- The red variant contains dried tomato as well, therefore it has got a bright red colour.
Pesto sauces are recommended to pasta, grilled dishes or simply on crispy bread.
