Description
Trader Joe's Basil Pesto Sauce is a classic Italian pesto made in Italy with fresh basil as the first ingredient. It brings together three Italian cheeses — a hard cheese, Parmigiano Reggiano, and Pecorino Romano — with pine nuts, sunflower seed oil, olive oil, and garlic for a rich, herbaceous sauce that's ready straight from the jar.
At 220 calories per 1/4 cup serving with 22 g of fat and a bold 570 mg of sodium, this is a concentrated, full-flavored pesto. The 6.7 oz jar yields about 3 servings — enough to dress two to three pasta meals or serve as a versatile condiment. Toss it with pasta, spread it on flatbread, stir it into soups, or use it as a dipping sauce.
One note: this pesto contains milk (from three cheeses) and pine nuts. It is not suitable for those with dairy or tree nut allergies. Refrigerate after opening.
HIOOL GOODS sources this directly from Trader Joe's U.S. stores, packs it carefully, and ships it to your door across the U.S. and Canada — authentic Italian pesto, no trip required.
