Great texture and flavour. The herbs give it a very fresh taste. Made a delicious chicken and pasta salad with this.

Much nicer taste than the cheap brands I usually buy. I will certainly be buying this from now on as it made the chicken pesto dish I made taste so much better.

I enjoyed this pesto on my crackers. However you only need a small amount as it is very salty. I wouldn’t want to use it As a dip. Reasonably priced

Oh my god, just wow, so delicious!! Smooth, full of flavour, smells amazing when you open the jar each time, eye catching label.

Tonight for dinner we had pasta with ‘Barilla Pesto alla Genovese”. With my black box that I received we also go a little book which had a recipe for pasta with this pesto . I added a few extra vege from my garden – -some spinach, a leek, and a bit of bacon I had sitting in my fridge.
All of my family really loved this dish. So quick and easy to make. The pesto of course was the star and it was delicious!!!
I loved the way that is coated everything in the pasta dish – and was really creamy. The flavour was great and I found I only had to add a small amount of salt and petter to finish it off. One of my family members thought I had put cream in the pasta – but I had only put in the pesto.
I think for the price -$5.30 it is actually quite good value. Its easy to use and if you are like me you will want something that is quick and easy – what can be easier than pasta and pesto with a few extra bits thrown it. The only thing I would have to say that isn’t so positive is that its quite salty – ok for pasta but I wouldn’t (as suggested on the jar) have it as a dip –
