Pestos






Aromatic herb pesto made with fresh herbs and spices, classical pine nuts and mature hard cheese. A little water and GEFRO Olive Oil and your yummy food sensation is ready! An ideal treat for pasta, as a Mediterranean spread, or for marinating, seasoning and adding flavour.
‘Pesto Alla Genovese’, originally coming from Genoa, might just be the best-known pesto and highly associated with the Italian cuisine. Fresh basil leaves, chopped and roasted pine nuts, a lovely, aromatic olive oil (e.g. GEFRO Extra Virgin Olive Oil), grated hard cheese (usually pecorino or Parmesan cheese), garlic, a pinch of salt and maybe even some pepper are mixed together and ground in a mortar to make a pesto.
Depending on your taste and the time of year, traditional basil can be replaced with rocket, ramsons (wild garlic) or chives. Instead of pine nuts, walnuts, cashews or pumpkin seeds can also be used.
To infuse the zingy fresh flavour of veggies into the pesto, merely add courgettes or sweet pepper. Fans of Asian cuisine like throwing in some coriander. Some even like adding chanterelles, button mushrooms, oyster mushrooms or even olives, aubergines, gorgonzola, spinach or fish – an infinite number of possibilities exist.
With our full-flavoured pesto verde, we’ve reinvented the Genoese classic for you – just mix 10 grams of powder to water, then add GEFRO Extra Virgin Olive Oil, mix and enjoy!
