FRATELLI D'AMICO Basil Pesto, Pasta Sauce, Chef Selection, Pesto Genovese, Genoese Style, Pesto Pasta, Family Size, Non-GMO, 17.6oz, Product of Italy

This is what real Italian Pesto tastes like in Italy. Now washed out taste. You need very little for a big impact when cooking.

I bought this under the impression this regular pesto sauce made with garlic, pine nuts, olive oil, and basil but it is made with ingredients that give it a funny taste.

This product tastes terrible. It does not taste like it contains basil as I have grown the plant and made pesto. In fact, the list of ingredients states that it is mostly spinach with natural basil "flavor".

This pesto is good

good, would buy again, but I need more crackers first.

This is delicious pesto. My grandson stole it after one taste!

I usually make my own pesto with olive oil, fresh basil, parmesan, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and walnuts. I sometimes add swiss chard, spinach, or kale to it as well. My homemade pesto is loved by my whole family, but I was interested in trying this pesto that was stated to be a product of Italy. When I opened the jar, it smelled good and I had high hopes for it. Unfortunately, all it tasted like was robust olive oil, basil, a strange flavor that left a bad aftertaste, and salt – WAY to much salt. I know high sodium content is pretty common for premade products, but I had hoped for more. As is, my family and I found it gross, and no one wanted the leftovers.

I recently discovered that as a diabetic 2 I can eat pasta as long as it is made from semolina. I am beginning to experiment with sauces, homemade and jarred. This product did not have the richness or full flavor I expect from pesto We will finish the opened jar. The remaining are going to a local foodbank in hopes someone likes it.
