About BASIL PESTO SAUCE, TRADITIONAL
Sam's Choice Basil Pesto Sauce Traditional is a pasta sauce sold under Sam's Choice, a premium private-label brand operated by Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. and positioned above the standard Great Value line in quality tier. The product is categorized under Prepared Pasta and Pizza Sauces and represents a more traditionally composed pesto compared to the Marketside variant.
Sunflower oil is the primary ingredient by weight, followed by fresh basil. Cashews appear as a nut inclusion — a departure from classic Ligurian pesto which traditionally uses pine nuts, suggesting a cost-substitution or flavor variant approach. Two distinct hard cheeses are used: Grana Padano (made from cow's milk, salt, rennet, and egg white lysozyme as a preservative) and Pecorino Romano (made from sheep's milk, salt, and rennet). Water, dextrose, salt, and organic potato flakes (with rosemary extract as a natural antioxidant) contribute to body and shelf stability. Pine nuts are listed as a separate ingredient from cashews, indicating both are present. Additional minor ingredients include lactic acid, garlic powder, whey protein concentrate, and extra virgin olive oil. Allergens include milk (from both cheeses and whey), tree nuts (cashews and pine nuts), and eggs (lysozyme from egg white used as a preservative in Grana Padano).
Per 100 grams: 404 calories, 17.02 g carbohydrates, 34.04 g fat, 4.26 g protein, and 2.1 g fiber. The moderate carbohydrate content relative to the Marketside version is likely attributable to dextrose and potato flakes. Not suitable for vegan, nut-free, dairy-free, or egg-free dietary requirements.
