Zesty Italian-style Pestos

After many years, Essential Cuisine Pestos has perfected the art of pesto production, to the point that many chefs refer to it as “the most Italian-like pesto available outside Italy”.

The flavours from our Essential Cuisine pesto range can enhance virtually any dish, changing it from ordinary to exquisite. It's not suprising then that our pesto won two stars at the International Taste Quality Awards in Belgium in 2007, as judged by 12 Michelin chefs.

What’s more, the unique screw-top squeeze pack is made of a flexible barrier that minimizes oxidation and bacterial spoiling, meaning your pesto can be opened and left in the fridge for longer.
