The pesto has a rich flavour of fresh basil, olive oil, pine nuts, and parmesan, making it versatile and easy to use in many dishes.

Alce Nero's philosophy is based on respect for nature and the origin of raw materials, making this pesto a natural choice for those seeking an authentic taste experience with an organic profile.
Active Ingredients & Science
This pesto is based on fresh basil, cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil, pine nuts, and parmesan cheese. The basil contains natural essential oils that contribute to the pesto's aromatic character, while the olive oil provides monounsaturated fats that are stable during refrigeration. The pine nuts offer a mild, nutty flavour and contribute natural fatty acids and proteins. The parmesan cheese provides a rounded and rich flavour profile and contains naturally occurring amino acids. The combination of these ingredients is what gives the pesto its character and usability in the kitchen.
Benefits & Uses
- Simple and quick flavour enhancer for pasta, risotto, or vegetable dishes.
- Perfect as a topping on bruschetta or as a flavouring in cold salads.
- Works well in sauces, marinades, and as a base in vegetarian and vegan dishes.
- A practical product for those who want authentic flavour without compromising on organic quality.
- Suitable for everyday cooking as well as for elevating festive occasions.
The product is also a good alternative for those wishing to avoid preservatives and artificial additives, as Alce Nero focuses on pure raw materials of high standard.
Usage & Dosage
Use the pesto directly from the jar as a flavouring or sauce base. A recommended amount is about one to two tablespoons per portion of pasta, but adjust according to taste and desired result. The product can advantageously be added at the end of cooking to preserve the fresh flavour. For best results, store the pesto cold after opening and use within a few days. Feel free to combine with other fresh herbs or vegetables to create your own variations.
