Essential Organic Red Pesto is a vibrant, vegan-friendly kitchen staple authentically crafted in Italy. Made using a high-quality blend of 49.5% organic tomato paste, 25% fresh basil, and extra virgin olive oil, this pesto delivers an intense, balanced Italian flavour. By using 22% premium extra virgin olive oil, rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and antioxidants, this pesto offers a significantly healthier alternative to pestos made with refined seed or palm oils. This organic recipe is concentrated for extra richness, ensuring that a little goes a long way in bringing the classic taste of the Mediterranean to your table.
With its bright red colour and robust texture, it is a perfect addition to many meals. Free from palm oil and added sugar, it offers a natural and wholesome way to enhance your favourite dishes. For the best experience, stir well before use; it can also be thinned with a little extra virgin olive oil to suit your personal taste. In keeping with a commitment to sustainability, this pesto is presented in an infinitely recyclable glass jar, helping to reduce waste without compromising on quality.
