About PREMIUM PESTO
Premium pesto from Alessi, an Italian-style basil pesto sauce in a jar format. Each 100g provides 406 calories, 6.25g of protein, 3.12g of carbohydrates, and 43.75g of fat. The high fat content reflects the oil-heavy traditional pesto base, typically made with olive oil, basil, Parmesan, pine nuts, and garlic. The carbohydrate count is very low, and protein comes from the cheese and nuts. A rich, flavorful condiment used for pasta coating, sandwich spreads, pizza bases, and as a marinade. Alessi's premium positioning implies higher-quality ingredients and more authentic flavor than mass-market alternatives. The concentrated fat content means a small serving delivers significant flavor and calories. Refrigerate after opening and use within the timeframe on the label.
