Pesto Genovese DOP, Gran Cucina (180gr)

Our DOP Genoese pesto stays true to the original recipe, using only the finest ingredients: handpicked DOP Genoese basil, Italian extra virgin olive oil, toasted pine nuts, and a premium cheese blend. This combination ensures an authentic and vibrant culinary experience. Versatile and aromatic, our pesto enhances a variety of dishes beyond pasta, including seafood and meats.

Gluten and wheat-free, our pesto offers an inclusive, high-quality alternative to expensive "free from" versions. Unlike many supermarket options that substitute basil with cheaper alternatives or add gluten derivatives for consistency, our pesto is made with only natural ingredients, preserving its authentic flavor and texture.

For a perfect pasta with pesto, mix a couple of teaspoons per serving in a small bowl with a splash of hot pasta water and extra virgin olive oil. Toss with cooked pasta, rigorously al dente, sprinkle generously with cheese, and enjoy. Buon appetito!

Gran Cucina has its root in a farm at the beginning of the XIX century. After buying a farm, the great grand father of the current generation started growing vegetables whilst the great grand mother started preparing local delicacies using their own grown products. Within a few years the reputation went outside the village, they started to supply nearby cities and villages. The family got bigger and so more help came.

Now, more than a century after, the same family and the same recipes are followed, using only the best local produces, including the very famous Alba truffle which is used in many products, from extra virgin olive oil to truffle honey to truffle butter.
