A rich Ligurian red pesto bursting with sweet tomatoes and fragrant basil
Inspired by the traditional flavours of Liguria, Seggiano Tomato & Basil Pesto combines sun-ripened tomatoes, fresh Ligurian basil, creamy cashew nuts and extra virgin olive oil to create a wonderfully rich and versatile red pesto.
Unlike many pestos, this recipe contains no cheese, allowing the natural sweetness of the tomatoes and the delicate aroma of basil to shine through. Cashew nuts provide a luxuriously creamy texture, while premium extra virgin olive oil delivers a smooth finish and authentic Mediterranean flavour.
Perfect stirred through pasta, spread generously onto bruschetta, layered into sandwiches or served as part of an antipasti platter, this is an essential store-cupboard ingredient for quick lunches, simple suppers and effortless entertaining.
Suitable for vegans and made using Ligurian basil grown without chemicals or pesticides, it brings genuine Italian flavour to every jar.
