About Pesto calabrese

Pesto Calabrese is a vibrant and creamy Italian sauce originating from the Calabria region. Its rich flavor comes from a blend of roasted red bell peppers, creamy ricotta cheese, parmesan, garlic, olive oil, and a hint of chili for a mild kick. Unlike traditional basil-based pesto, the use of peppers and ricotta gives it a sweeter, tangier profile with a smooth texture. This sauce is often paired with pasta, spread onto bread, or used as a dip. Nutritionally, Pesto Calabrese offers a good dose of vitamins from red peppers, healthy fats from olive oil, and protein from cheese. However, it can be calorie-dense due to the cheese and oil content, so moderation is key. With its bold flavors and bright color, Pesto Calabrese is a delicious way to add a Mediterranean touch to meals while enjoying a mix of nutrients and indulgent richness.
