Pesto is one of the oldest and most loved sauces of the Italian culinary tradition. Its name derives from the Genoese verb “pestare”, to pound, because its original preparation involves the use of a mortar and pestle. The use of the mortar dates back to ancient times, when sauces were prepared through a patient and laborious process of pounding.
