Basil Italian Pesto

Our imported Italian basil with its glossy dark green leaves and full-bodied zesty flavor is the classic strain for making pesto. Combine the delicious leaves with garlic, olive oil, grated cheese and toasted nuts to make homemade pesto sauce for pasta, baked potatoes or to accent fish or poultry, season soups and stews, or enhance salad dressings. You’ll have luscious leafy harvests all summer with plenty to freeze for winter feasting too!
