About BASIL PESTO, BASIL
Private Selection Basil Pesto is a classic-style basil pesto sauce sold under Kroger's Private Selection premium sub-brand. It falls in the Prepared Pasta and Pizza Sauces category and is designed for use with pasta, as a pizza base, or as a spread. The formulation follows the traditional Genovese pesto components with some commercial adaptations.
The ingredient list opens with basil as the primary ingredient, followed by canola oil as the fat base — a departure from extra virgin olive oil common in traditional recipes. Spinach is added as a secondary green vegetable that extends body and color while keeping ingredient costs moderate. Garlic provides the essential pesto aromatic. Both grated Parmesan cheese (milk, culture, salt, enzyme) and grated Romano cheese (milk, culture, salt, enzyme) contribute the characteristic savory aged-cheese character. Yeast extract is included as an umami amplifier. Salt, citric acid, and ascorbic acid serve as seasoning and preservative agents. Traditional pine nuts are absent from this formulation, distinguishing it from classic basil pesto alla Genovese.
