Blind Taste Test Exposes Shocking Pesto TRUTH

Pesto, the famous green sauce from Genoa in Italy’s northwest, is a perfect example of simplicity at its best. Traditionally made with just a handful of ingredients—fresh basil, Parmigiano Reggiano, garlic, pine nuts, and extra virgin olive oil —all carefully crushed to release their full flavours. It is so versatile and can be used on everything from sandwiches to salads even on proteins like fish or chicken. But how do supermarket pesto jars compare against the real thing? That’s what I set out to discover in a recent Blind Pesto Taste Test. I sampled a range of supermarket Pesto to see if any can come close to the rich, vibrant flavours of a homemade pesto sauce. I’ll be judging them on the essential components: can we taste the fresh basil? Is the Parmesan cheese sharp and nutty? Does the sauce have that beautiful balance of salt, natural flavours, and aroma? And, of course, we’ll look at the consistency—is it smooth and velvety, or does it have that authentic, slightly coarse texture that homemade pesto is known for? Now, I know nothing beats freshly made pesto, especially when basil is in season. However, supermarket pesto can be a time saver for busy weeknights or when fresh basil is hard to come by. So, let’s see which of these convenient options deserves a spot in your pantry. 💯 Follow this link to read and print the written recipe: https://www.vincenzosplate.com/blind-pesto-taste-test/ #pesto #tastetest #vincenzosplate =============================================== 📺SUBSCRIBE TO MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL (IT’S FREEEEEE ;-) http://bit.ly/SubscribeToMyYOUTUBEchannel Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcsSowAamCLJv-xeF9geXoA/join 🕴Here is the link to Buy my Merch (and the No Pineapple on Pizza T-shirt): https://www.vincenzosplatestore.com/ 📖Share it with your FOODIE friends on FACEBOOK 🍝Check out my website to get more recipes http://vincenzosplate.com/ 🌍Join my Small Group Private Italian Tour and discover the secret gems of Italy with me.
