How to Use
No cooking needed — just toss! Cook your pasta, reserve a splash of pasta water, then fold in the pesto off the heat. The starchy water helps the sauce coat every strand beautifully.
📦
Storage & Freshness
Keep refrigerated and use within 7 days of opening. To prevent browning, smooth the surface and cover with a thin layer of olive oil before resealing. Pesto freezes exceptionally well — portion into an ice cube tray for single-serve convenience.
Made for Every Occasion
Pesto’s versatility is part of its magic. It’s as happy on fresh pasta as it is spread on crusty bread or spooned over grilled vegetables — here are our favorite ways to use it.

No Shortcuts,
Just Great Ingredients
Val’s pesto starts with one rule: use only what belongs there. Genovese basil, pine nuts, Pecorino Romano, Parmigiano Reggiano, garlic, and extra virgin olive oil — no dried herbs, no cheap fillers, no shortcuts.
The result is a pesto that tastes the way it should — vivid, grassy, and rich without being heavy. A sauce this pure elevates even the simplest pasta into something you’ll want to make again and again.
