Selecting and preparing the tomatoes

It begins with carefully selected Italian tomatoes, picked at peak ripeness. For each Pesto, the tomato is chosen for its distinctive character and how beautifully its flavour complements the other ingredients in the recipe.

Creating a smooth, creamy base

Cheese and oil are carefully blended to create a smooth, creamy base. This first combination lays the foundation for the rich texture of the Pesto and prepares the way for the tomato and the other ingredients in the recipe.

Bringing the ingredients together

A specially prepared Passata made from the selected tomatoes is added to the recipe, bringing the tomato to its heart. The other carefully chosen ingredients complete the combination, each contributing its own flavour and character.

Where flavours come together

Finishing with care

The ingredients are gently heated at 40°C, allowing their flavours to blend harmoniously. The Pesto is then pasteurised and carefully packed into jars, preserving the rich texture and distinctive character of each recipe.
