Pesto Genovese is the most famous pesto in all of Italy. Only pesto made in a precise manner with fresh Ligurian DOP basil can carry the DOP label. At the heart of this DOP Sun-dried Red Pesto are five ingredients: peeled sun-dried tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil from Anfosso, fresh Ligurian DOP basil, Grana Padano cheese, and pine nuts. Chef Amy believes that the intense aroma, bright, red color and sweet taste of this pesto are perfect for pairing with pasta, panini, risotto, pizza, easy appetizers, and even roasted vegetables and meats.
Chef Amy Riolo is proud to partner with the world-renown Anfosso brand to introduce her privately-labelled Ligurian twist on classic basil pesto. This product is a winner of the 2019 SOFI Gold award for best pasta sauce, and Chef Amy considers it to be the perfect pantry staple.
