Natural and high-quality ingredients

Unlike conventional industrial pestos, this recipe contains up to 55% fresh basil and 30% olive oil. Specifically, this green and fragrant base is enriched with the creaminess of Parmigiano Reggiano, the crunchiness of walnuts, and, above all, 5% summer truffle (Tuber Aestivum Vitt.). As this is a gluten-free, colorant-free, and preservative-free product, it offers an authentic and pure taste.

How to use truffle pesto in the kitchen

The versatility of this sauce is incredible. Since it is ready for immediate use, it allows you to create gourmet dishes in just a few moments.

Here are some examples of combinations that will highlight the flavor of truffle pesto:

• Main courses: it is primarily a sauce for trofie, linguine, or gnocchi. Just dilute it with a spoonful of pasta cooking water to get the perfect cream to coat the pasta.
• Appetizers: on warm canapés, toasts, or bruschetta. Heated bread will further develop the truffle aroma.
• Gourmet sandwiches: fill sandwiches or focaccia.
• White meat: it will also surprise as a side dish for grilled chicken or turkey, adding flavor and character.
