Portofino Fine Food Pesto Genovese, Red and Genoese Basil PDO Truffles 3 x 100g

By opening a pot of Portofino pesto, you will not only feel the scent of the best Ligurian tradition, but you will savor the emotion that this magical place can provide. Its recipe is simple and valuable at the same time: it is a raw sauce that retains all the flavor of its ingredients. It is obtained by grinding Genoese basil, pine nuts and garlic, all seasoned with Grana Padano, Parmigiano Reggiano, Pecorino and olive oil. The earliest example of pesto dates back to Roman times, while the first official recipe would date back to the 19th century, although it certainly draws inspiration from older sauces already popular in Liguria during the time of the Maritime Republic of Genoa. Ideal as a ready-to-use pasta sauce, also suitable for appetizers, served on bread croutons and finger food. Portofino Industrie Alimentari is a company specialized for over 40 years in the production of Pesto Genovese and products of the Ligurian tradition. Opening a package of products is like opening a door to Portofino, like entering a house and grabbing its fragrances, memories and expertise.
