Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does the 'DOP' status of the basil mean?
DOP stands for Protected Designation of Origin. It guarantees that the basil is genuinely grown in the Liguria region according to strict traditional quality standards.
Does this Pesto alla Genovese contain allergens?
Yes. This product contains dairy (cheese) and cashew nuts and/or pine nuts. It may contain traces of other tree nuts.
Is this pesto suitable for vegetarians?
Traditional Pesto alla Genovese typically features cheeses like Grana Padano or Pecorino, which use animal rennet. If you follow a strict vegetarian diet, please check the ingredient list.
Why is this pesto packaged in a 180g glass jar?
Glass packaging preserves the freshness, aroma, and premium quality best. The 180g size is ideal for a family meal serving 3 to 4 people.
Should I heat this pesto before serving?
No, never heat pesto directly in a pan, as this causes the basil to lose its bright color and fresh flavor. Simply toss it cold into freshly drained, hot pasta.
