We are the people of Gruppo Riviera, those who made a bet with themselves. Those who brought to Bulgaria, with love, the true fresh Pesto Genovese from Italy.
Pesto alla Genovese is a traditional Italian sauce made from fresh basil, pine nuts, garlic, Parmesan cheese, extra virgin olive oil, and salt.
Pesto can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container. It’s recommended to cover the surface with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent oxidation.
Pesto is versatile and can be used in many recipes, such as pasta, bruschetta, salads, and even as a dressing for meat and fish.
Traditional pesto contains cheese, but there are vegan versions without dairy. Be sure to check the ingredients or ask for specific information.
Yes, pesto can be frozen. It’s advisable to do so in small portions, such as ice cube trays, for easier use.
We use high-quality fresh basil, sourced exclusively from Genova Prà. The basil from Genova Prà is exceptional due to the ideal microclimate and fertile soil of the area, which enhance its intense and aromatic flavor. This variety (Ocimum basilicum) is grown using traditional methods and hand-harvested, without the use of chemical pesticides. Its sweet and intense fragrance makes it perfect for Pesto alla Genovese, contributing to a long culinary tradition in Liguria.
Pesto may contain allergens such as nuts (pine nuts) and dairy . Always check the label for detailed information.
Pesto can be used as a spread for sandwiches, a marinade for meats, a pizza topping, or to flavor soups and stews.
Pesto is available on our website, in specialty stores, and in some supermarkets. Check the “Where to Buy” section for more details.
