| Description | Pesto made according to the traditional Genoese recipe with Genovese DOP basil, extra virgin olive oil, Grana Padano DOP, Parmigiano Reggiano DOP, Pecorino Romano DOP, pine nuts, sea salt and garlic |
|---|---|
| Appearance | It shows a medium grain and a beautiful bright green colour, very similar to the colour of fresh basil |
| Taste | Fragrant and not too tangy, it releases all scent of basil; the garlic aroma is delicate and not at all intrusive |
| Curiosity | Since the first half of the 19th century, Alessandro and Stefano's family has been one of the largest producers of aromatic plants in Genoa Pra', but it is from the 1920s that the company specialised in basil cultivation, when the first greenhouses began to appear |
| Our selection | The production of Pesto di Pra' is spread over two sectors, one purely agricultural with the company 'Serre sul Mare' for the cultivation of basil in Pra', and the other artisanal with the company 'Il Pesto di Prà': the company therefore controls the entire supply chain and processing is still artisanal |
| Suggestions | Pesto should not be heated; it is advisable to save some of the pasta cooking water and use it to dilute the pesto and then season. In addition to pasta dishes, try pesto also to enrich a potato and octopus salad, on a pizza or as a dip sauce to serve with fried vegetables |
| Ingredients | Extra virgin olive oil, Basilico Genovese DOP (25% min), Grana Padano DOP (MILK, salt, rennet), Italian pine nuts, Parmigiano Reggiano DOP (MILK, salt, rennet), Pecorino Romano DOP (sheep's MILK, salt, rennet), italian garlic, antioxidant: ascorbic acid, salt, acidifier: citric acid. |

Why we chose them
A short chain production, from cultivation of basil to the production of Pesto, and the selection of the best ingredients are the main secrets of Pesto
di Pra'. Since the 19th Century, Bruzzone and Ferrari families have been among of the largest producers of vegetables and herbs in Pra', district of
the west of Genoa. Since the 1920s the company have started specializing in the basil cultivation. In 2003 Alessandro and Stefano founded a new
company specialized on the processing of basil to produce artisanal Pesto Genovese. Today the family follows two main businesses: one in the
agricultural area with the "Serre sul mare" for the cultivation of basil and the other one with the company "Pesto di Pra'", specialized in the
production and marketing of the artisan Pesto Genovese. In this way the company controls the entire production chain, from cultivation of basil to
pesto production. The objective of the company is that only the best Italian ingredients are used to produce Pesto, with a process still handcrafted.
The production of Pesto takes place according to the traditional recipe of Genoa
