Treat yourself this Christmas to some genuine Italian pesto.
Boxing Day, and after all the festivities, food and drink, you just want something simple and easy to cook. Pasta with authentic Italian pesto is perfect, and everyone loves a good pasta dish! The La Favourite Pesto is made with Genovese basil DOP. The Genovese area grows the highest quality of basil, hence the Protected Designation of Origin status. I didn’t realise that the best quality part of the basil plant is only the top plant and La Favourita hand pick the basil, which is grown with natural fertiliser too, which explains the fuller taste.
Opening the jar, the Mediterranean aroma of the basil pesto overwhelms you, as your senses register that it’s lunchtime and the pasta is gently bubbling on the stove. You can taste that the pesto is lovingly made because it has very few ingredients and uses a high quality olive oil. You can also taste the pine nuts and cashews in the sauce, which goes well on pasta or with a beautiful tomato, which are ripening about this time of year. There’s a beautiful, herby flavour to the La Favourita Pesto which reminds you of Italy every time you open a new jar.
