Pesto alla Genovese

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Pesto alla Genovese is one of the most precious treasures of Italian cuisine. It is no coincidence that it was created and continues to be exclusive to Liguria, since the basil that grows on its coast, thanks to the region’s special microclimate, has an incredible flavor that is different from basil in the rest of Italy. 

Novaro’s Pesto alla Genovese is made as tradition dictates and only with Ligurian ingredients: strictly small basil leaves, coarse salt, aged cheese, pine nuts, garlic and extra virgin olive oil, all expertly dosed and pounded for one of the world’s best-loved and best-known sauces.

The most classic pairing is with long pasta such as linguine or spaghetti, but it is also spectacular in soups and spread on bruschetta. With this pesto you’ll feel like you’re on the Ligurian Riviera wherever you are!

Would you be willing, to save a small amount of money, to compromise your health and the pleasure that properly made food brings you? Here, the benefits of good Italian food, the fruit of the expert hands of true artisans of the table, are these. 

Over the years the raw material has lost its soul and food has become something to be swallowed without too much attention. Therefore, the time has come to take back the pleasure of being at the table and to start taking care of our bodies again, not only in appearance but also through what we ingest. Making food our medicine is possible, but only if we know the exact origin of the raw material and the processing methods: we at Gustatium have thought about this for you, selecting the best small Italian producers and making them available to you on our website.

SHIPPING

We receive your order, prepare it and ship it in 24/36 hours.

We are aware that excellent products need excellent packaging and at the same time we cannot risk damaging in any way the precious Italian culinary jewels: for this reason, our warehouse is equipped with temperature and lighting ideal for food preservation and the most delicate ones (cheeses, cold cuts and craft beers) are stored inside cold rooms. During shipping, on the other hand, each product is protected with the packaging most appropriate to its characteristics.

Cheeses and cured meats, which despite being aged require special care, travel accompanied by a special slow-release gel ice inside isothermal bags: in this way freshness is preserved until the goods arrive at your home.

For our craft beers, which are unpasteurized and therefore more sensitive to high temperatures than normal, we use a special isothermal bubble wrap, which can ensure that the accumulated cold is maintained for the shipping time while protecting the bottles from shocks.

To secure the precious bottles of Italian wine, we have equipped ourselves with special inflatable bags, designed solely for the purpose of immobilizing and protecting this product inside the box.

For jars containing a thousand Italian goodnesses, we use special protective bubble wrap liners.
