Pesto by Agromonte is a light green sauce enriched with 45% Italian basil, cashew, walnuts, and pine nuts. This herbal condiment is made from Parmigiano Reggiano to accentuate herbal aromas with nutty flavors.
Pesto sauce is a famous, light-to-intense green condiment loved for its refreshing aroma and garlicky punch. Rich with basil, this Italian specialty is believed to have originated from Genoa, Liguria. However, according to some, it must be a modern twist on Roman Moretum, a similar sauce prepared with garlic, herbs, and cheese - all the essential ingredients of pesto. This unique Italian condiment has become an indispensable culinary phenomenon of the country, and to attest to the fact, Genoa even hosts a bi-annual World Pesto Championship!
