About BASIL PESTO WITH PARMIGIANO REGGIANO & EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL, BASIL
Simple Truth Basil Pesto with Parmigiano Reggiano and Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a premium pesto sauce offered under Kroger's Simple Truth sub-brand, which emphasizes organic and natural ingredient sourcing. This product is classified in the Prepared Pasta and Pizza Sauces category and is formulated with organic-certified ingredients and Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.
The ingredient list leads with organic basil as the primary component, followed by organic extra virgin olive oil and organic sunflower seed oil as the fat base. Organic Parmigiano Reggiano PDO cheese, made from organic cultured cow's milk with salt and animal rennet, is a notable premium inclusion — PDO designation requires production in a specified Italian region under strict traditional methods. Organic cashews contribute texture and richness as a tree nut component, replacing or supplementing the traditional pine nuts, which also appear later in the list. Water, salt, organic sugar, and organic potato starch complete the structural formulation. Organic pine nuts add additional traditional pesto character. Organic garlic provides the classic pesto aromatics. Lactic acid serves as an acidity regulator.
