About BASIL PESTO, BASIL
Fresh Foods Market Basil Pesto is a freshly prepared pesto condiment sold under the Fresh Foods Market brand, a Kroger in-store prepared and deli foods sub-brand. This product is classified in the Prepared Pasta and Pizza Sauces category and is formulated with a combination of Parmesan and Romano cheeses, fresh basil, and mixed oils in a style consistent with American-market fresh pestos.
The ingredient list leads with a cheese blend of Parmesan and Romano, the latter made from milk with bacterial culture, salt, lipase, calcium chloride, enzymes, and cellulose (for anti-caking). The use of lipase in Romano cheese is traditional, producing the characteristic pungent, sharp flavor. Basil follows as the second named ingredient, reflecting a cheese-forward formula. Olive oil and canola oil provide the fat base. Reconstituted lemon juice contributes brightness and acts as a mild preservative. Parsley is included as a secondary herb. Garlic and walnuts provide classic pesto components, though walnuts replace the traditional pine nuts as the nut component. Salt, pine nuts, and spice complete the formulation, with pine nuts present in smaller quantity than walnuts.
Per 100 grams, this pesto provides 467 calories, with 45g fat, 5g carbohydrates, 8.33g protein, and 1.7g dietary fiber. The relatively high protein content of 8.33g per 100g reflects the cheese-dominant formulation. Calorie density is high. Allergens include dairy (Parmesan, Romano), tree nuts (walnuts, pine nuts). The product is not suitable for vegan, dairy-free, or tree-nut-free diets.
