Basil and Walnut Pesto

Bella mia is not just an exclamation, it's a way of looking at life, of living it, of savouring it, without rush, admiring its beauty â that's where Basil and Walnut Pesto is born

Basil and Walnut Pesto

Bella Mia vegetable preserves are just like the ones grandma used to make: a genuine goodness that accompanies the most beautiful moments at the table. So let's pause to savour simplicity, genuineness and beauty.

The Artisanal Sicilian Basil and Walnut Pesto is a delicious variation on the classic Genoese pesto, enriched by the tradition and flavours of Sicily. Made with fresh basil grown under the island's sun and carefully selected Sicilian walnuts, this dressing captures all the simplicity and genuineness of Mediterranean cuisine.

Crafted by hand using a cold process, without the addition of preservatives or colourings, our pesto retains its herbaceous aroma intact, the natural creaminess of the walnuts and the intense scent of freshly picked basil. A touch of extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of aged cheese complete the recipe to offer you a tasty, healthy and ready-to-use product. It's a tribute to simple yet rich flavours, perfect for those seeking a genuine, versatile dressing deeply rooted in Sicilian tradition.
