Pesto alla Genovese Vegan

Every region, city and village has its own specialities, but the most famous pesto is a traditional sauce from Liguria. Its name, pesto Genovese, is therefore named after the city it comes from Genoa. Our Pesto alla Genovese is based on it but completely vegan!

Bertolli Pesto alla Genovese Vegan is a delicious sauce prepared with basil, pine nuts, extra virgin olive oil and without tofu. These flavours come into their own in marinades, dressings, as a spread on bread or in a delicious pasta dish.

Pesto comes from the word ‘pestare’ meaning pounding. This refers to the traditional way of grinding pesto with a mortar, or pestle. Nowadays, it can also be made with a food processor but if you still take the time to make it yourself, use a mortar for a more aromatic pesto.

Bertolli was founded in 1865 in Lucca, Tuscany. Francesco Bertolli and his wife Caterina opened a deli shop after which they started exporting Italian products to Italian migrants around the world. To this day, Bertolli aims to make all the good things from authentic, simple and delicious Italian cuisine available to everyone.
