The unmistakable scent of Italian summer, ready in a jar.

Organic Basil Pesto by Roots

The pure essence of Mediterranean tradition, captured in a jar by the farm RootsThis is no ordinary pesto: it's an ode to "Giant Tuscan Basil," a particularly fragrant variety with large leaves, which makes up a full 35% of this preparation.

The recipe is a manifesto of purity and quality, an expression of a short and organic supply chain. Fresh basil is slowly emulsified with organic extra virgin olive oil, enriched with a generous amount of pine nuts (9%), garlic, and a pinch of salt. You'll notice one notable absence: cheese. This conscious choice allows you to savor the authentic, clean flavor of basil, making the pesto lighter and incredibly versatile.

The result is a velvety cream, with a bright green color and an intense aroma, which brings the authentic flavor of homemade pesto to the table, as if made from a mortar and pestle.

The roots of this Pesto are deep in tradition

Although its origins are universally recognized as Ligurian, pesto has become a national treasure, expertly interpreted in every region. In Tuscany, the use of "giant" basil, with its intense yet sweet aroma, is a distinctive feature. The recipe remains faithful to the canons of simplicity: few, excellent ingredients, expertly crafted.

Radici revives this tradition of purity, offering a condiment that celebrates the raw ingredients without overpowering them. It's the flavor of summer, preserved thanks to extra virgin olive oil, ready to be enjoyed year-round.

This pesto is a powerhouse of health. Organic basil, grown without pesticides, is known for its digestive and aromatic properties. Extra virgin olive oil is a precious source of polyphenols and "good" fats, allies of cardiovascular health.

Pine nuts (9%) add not only flavor, but also energy and an excellent mineral content. The absence of cheese makes it an ideal choice for those seeking a lighter condiment or following specific diets, without sacrificing a burst of flavor. It's a clean, healthy, and 100% plant-based product.
