Speaking of pesto, Liguria immediately comes to mind: it is in this beautiful region, in fact, that this sauce, which is even claimed to have aphrodisiac properties, was created with great care. Pesto is a cold sauce, a synonym and symbol of Genoa and the whole of Liguria, which for several decades has been among the best known and most popular sauces in the world. The first traces of pesto can be found even in the 19th century and since then the recipe has always remained the same, at least in the homemade recipe. To make real Genoese pesto you need a marble mortar and a wooden pestle and... a lot of patience. Like every traditional recipe, every family has its own one for Genoese pesto (basil sauce), the one we present in this recipe is from the Genoese Pesto Consortium.
Our pesto respects the ancient and classic Ligurian recipe, with Genoese basil D.O.P. (only leaves and without stem), extra virgin olive oil, grana cheese, pecorino cheese and garlic. It is an unpasteurized product able to maintain all the organoleptic characteristics of the typical homemade pesto. Contained in a convenient “Empty-Easy” jar, excellent to avoid waste during the product extraction phase.
This delicious recipe, whose origins in Ligurian cuisine date back to the 1800s, is an Italian gastronomic patrimony. Originally used to flavor the minestrone, only in the early twentieth century it becomes a condiment for pasta. Ideal to accompany all types of hard or fresh pasta. It goes perfectly with the typical trofie or the Ligurian trenette and leaves free interpretation to a creative kitchen. Dilute with 2/3 tablespoons of cooking water, add Parmigiano Reggiano and extra virgin olive oil. Season then cold.
