Frequently Asked Questions:
What is pesto?
Pesto is a traditional “green sauce” and condiment that originated in Northern Italy. Homemade pesto sauce is made in a mortar and pestle featuring fresh basil leaves, extra virgin olive oil, grated Parmesan cheese, toasted pine nuts and maybe a kiss of lemon juice. Pesto is herbaceous and fresh, a “raw” sauce that is best served as a drizzle, dressing or topping to preserve its fresh flavor. It is often served as a no-cook pasta sauce or as part of a dressing for pasta salads. You can buy it as a pesto jar or like our DeLallo Pesto Squeeze Bottle. The latter is more convenient for using it as a condiment, dressing and garnish.
Is pesto in a squeeze bottle ready to eat?
Yes, pesto in a squeeze bottle—similar to pesto in a jar—is ready to eat. It is a raw, no-heat sauce with an herbaceous, fresh flavor.
How do I use pesto in a squeeze bottle?
Pesto in a squeeze bottle is great for adding the perfect amount of pesto as a topping, condiment, finishing drizzle—you name it. Basil pesto can be used as a drizzle on freshly cut vegetables, garden tomatoes, grain bowls, leafy green salads and more. Use it as a finishing drizzle on pizzas and flatbreads, soups and stews. Basil pesto is a great finish for grilled or roasted meats, poultry and seafood. Create creamy dips, marinades and dressings.
