Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Using a blender can cause the basil to turn brown and lose its aroma due to friction heat from the blades, so using a mortar is the authentic method.
  • After washing the basil leaves, be sure to dry them completely with paper towels to prevent the pesto from separating and to store it longer.
  • When storing, place the pesto in an airtight container and pour a thin layer of olive oil on top to block air contact, which prevents discoloration.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to taste a high-quality homemade basil pesto unlike anything store-bought.
  • Cooking enthusiasts who want to experience the authentic traditional Italian cooking method firsthand.
