Fresh Genoese Pesto
Pesto Parodi, the real Genoese Pesto made using the recipe of Luciana Parodi, 2007 World Champion of pesto al mortaio (made using a pestle and mortar). Fresh Genoese pesto, high quality, hand made and without preservatives.
We don’t use preservatives of any type including ascorbic acid (often shown as vitamin C), because they change the taste of the pesto and basil, giving it a ‘foreign’ taste. Try putting lemon in the pesto…
Our pesto is made using the traditional old Genoese recipe with only the seven ingredients as in the traditional recipe (Pesto Parodi isn’t made using a pestle and mortar).
Pesto Parodi is the ideal match for typical Ligurian pastas, both fresh pasta and dry. Like troffiette di Recco (short, twisted Ligurian pasta), trenette, trenette avvantaggiate, (narrow ribbon pasta), lasagne (sheet pasta), corzetti (thin circles of pasta) and testaroli della lunigiana (Tuscan sheet pasta). Genoese pesto is extremely versatile and is an excellent sauce for many other types of Italian pasta on the market.
