Product Description

This authentic Italian Basil Pesto from Italian producer Venturino Bartolomeo is delicious. It was recommended to us by a customer and once we tried it we couldn’t get enough! It’s a delicious authentic pesto that can be used straight from the jar. Use it with freshly cooked pasta (trofie, penne, linguine or spaghetti) or as an accompaniment to meat and fish. Contains extra virgin olive oil, cashews, cheese, Grana Padano cheese, pecorino cheese and more. Sensational!

about the producer

Established in 1945, Frantoio Venturino Bartolomeo is a family business, currently run by Valter Venturino. The oil mill and olive groves are not far from the village of Diano San Pietro and the Riviera di Ponente along the Ligurian coastline. The area near Riviera di Ponente has been renowned for the production of taggiasche olives since the 14th century when many years prior to that, the species had been developed by Benedictine monks in the town of Taggia.

Aside from olives, Venturino also produce a wonderful range of sauces using flavours that are typical of Ligurian cuisine.
