The key to a perfect pesto lies in its balance, and this organic pesto from Bio Orto is the most beautifully balanced version we’ve ever had from a jar. It starts with deeply fragrant fresh basil and real PDO parmigiano reggiano—no second-rate imposters here. Add mild extra virgin olive oil (also organic, made in-house) and creamy Italian pine nuts, and you’ve got a piquant sauce like no other.

While pesto made with basil is known to have originated in Genoa in the middle of the 19 th century (that’s why you sometimes see it called pesto alla Genovese), the ancient method for preserving fresh greens with salt and oil dates back to the ancient Romans. Whether you use this pesto as a pasta sauce, sandwich spread, or beyond, you’d never know it’s not fresh from the garden.

Launched in 2003 by third-generation farmers from the Passalacqua family, Bio Orto is dedicated to capturing the freshest Italian produce. A leader in organic agriculture, they grow their produce in the valleys of Gargano National Park in Puglia, on the southeastern edge of the country. This pristine landscape is the perfect home for a company dedicated to celebrating agricultural diversity while working to be better stewards of the land for future generations. From their olive oils to fruit preserves, tomatoes, sauces, and more, every ingredient is hand-picked and packed in their state-of-the-art facilities to ensure you get the best of what Italy has to offer.

This pesto is fragrant with fresh basil, balanced with salty parmigiano reggiano cheese and mild extra virgin olive oil. Toss this sauce with cooked pasta for a supremely fast and delicious dinner. Try it on pizza instead of the usual tomato sauce—just add slices of fresh tomato and mozzarella for an inverted margherita! Or, use as a sandwich spread to add a jolt of flavor to your panini and subs.
