Italian Pesto

Chefs Brigade Italian Pesto Verde 1kg is a classic green pesto made with Italian basil, blended into a rich, grainy paste with a fresh, aromatic character. With its vibrant green colour and visible flecks of cheese and cashew nuts, it delivers a balanced flavour that’s savoury, slightly salty and unmistakably basil-led.

This ready-to-use basil pesto has a textured consistency with a natural oil separation, giving it an authentic, homemade feel. The combination of basil, garlic and cheese creates a well-rounded sauce that coats pasta beautifully, while also working as a quick flavour boost for a wide range of dishes. Its bold yet familiar taste makes it a reliable staple for everyday cooking, from quick lunches to simple evening meals.

Ideal as a pasta sauce, spread or marinade, this Italian pesto verde brings consistent flavour and convenience in a generous 1kg format, suited to regular use.

• 1kg catering-size tub of green pesto sauce.
• Made with 30% Italian basil for a fresh, herb-led flavour.
• Contains cashew nuts and grated cheese for added richness.
• Grainy texture with visible ingredients for an authentic look.
• Ready-to-use sauce with no preparation required.
• Suitable for hot and cold dishes.

Recipe Inspiration:

• Toss through freshly cooked pasta with a splash of cooking water for a simple basil pesto pasta.

• Stir into roasted vegetables or potatoes for a herby finish.
• Use as a base on flatbreads or sandwiches with mozzarella and tomatoes.

Why does pesto sometimes have oil on top?

Oil separation is completely natural in traditional-style pesto. It helps preserve the sauce and can simply be stirred back in before use to restore its consistency.

Can pesto verde be used as a cooking ingredient rather than just a sauce?

Yes, it works well stirred into soups, folded into doughs such as bread or pastry, or mixed into dressings for a quick basil vinaigrette.

What dishes traditionally use pesto verde?

Pesto originates from Liguria in Italy, where it is commonly served with pasta such as trofie or linguine, often alongside potatoes and green beans for a classic regional dish.
