About Genose pesto

Genoese pesto is a vibrant, aromatic sauce originating from the Ligurian region of Italy, particularly Genoa. Traditionally made by blending fresh basil leaves, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and pecorino cheese with olive oil, it offers a rich yet fresh flavor profile perfect for pastas, salads, and more. Packed with healthy ingredients, pesto boasts heart-healthy monounsaturated fats from olive oil and pine nuts, plus antioxidants and essential vitamins from basil. The Parmesan and pecorino add protein and calcium, though they contribute to its high sodium content. While pesto is nutrient-dense, its calorie count can be significant due to the oil and cheese. Moderation is key to fully enjoying its benefits as part of a balanced diet. Each spoonful carries the essence of Italian cuisine, celebrating simple, high-quality ingredients.
