I love this stuff
It’s really hard to get a decent vegetarian pesto. But this stuff is amazing. I bought a giant jar of it for £20 of it by accident and it’s a testament that the experience didn’t sour me and got me to get some more.The thing is a really nice intense salty flavour that’s great just in the crevices of a fussili

Good quality. Probably around the right price but feels expensive

Delectable! and proved 100% safe for this consumer with allergy to all dairy products
Wonderful, brilliant - not only delicious, but the only Pesto that has proved completely safe for me with my allergies to dairy. This was a repeat purchase, and I'll certainly be buying again - probably by the dozen!I particularly enjoy it on Ciabatta bread that's had a quick crisp-up in the oven - the pesto melts nicely and spreads well, so a little goes a long way.

The best pesto in a jar
This pesto is noticeably more complex and tastier than any other that I have found so far. I assume that being made from fresh basil is the key. There has been a slow deterioration in the quality of pesto in my experience, with authentic olive oil replaced by any cheap vegetable oil and pine nuts shifting to a similar-looking bland nut from China and now mostly bits of cashew. One big Italian name is even diluting theirs with potato… This Seggiano brand is using some cashews with actual pine nuts, so no five stars given its high price. Real pesto made fresh is in a different league, but this one is a good second.

Less pesto and more olive oil these days
This is amazing stuff. I have been buying it for years ever since my local Italian deli recommended it. Expensive but worth it. Recently there seems to be far more oil than originally. Why not just stick with the original formulation and put the price up a little?

Went mouldy after 3 days.
What a waste of money. Wish I can get my refund. 10 quid is a lot of money down the drain.

best of best
This is wonderful ... I just ordered 6 more. Yummy. Not too salty. Full of flavor. SO good for you!!I put this on everything from soup to eggs! It is fantastic cold, hot and at room temperature. The texture is smooth with an occasional "bite" of leaf. Although a specific flavor, this seems to blend in with everything.The price is up there, but so far I've never taken a bite and not thought it was worth it.My only concern is that if this gets too popular, the price will rocket. I just came by to order more, and I see there has been an increase since my last order in late 2013, but it is nominal -- only about 50 cents.The seller is great; shipping as always been exceptionally swift and a jar has never even so much as leaked.Great, healthy item!!Oh dear ........... I must admit, I wish I'd purchased this a month ago when the price was only $10.00 per jar. I'm eating my words about the nominal increase in price, sadly. $13.00 is getting up there ... I will have to re-think keeping this on the shelves now. Shipping is not free unless you buy quite a few, so .......'Still - It's pretty tasty stuff!!

Very salty
This pesto tastes very good but it's so salty that I couldn't eat it because of my blood pressure. It's really a shame because it doesn't need all of that salt in my opinion.I tried to cut it with olive oil but it was still very salty. If you're on a low sodium diet I wold look elsewhere.

so salty
am i deceiving myself, or was this product once less chock full of sodium? it is so very salty it seems dangerous to eat. still reasonably tasty, because yum..salt. i threw it out though because i would like to live.

Simply divine
This pesto is outstanding - worth every penny. The company doesn't make a big deal out of it, but besides the product being extremely delicious, it is vegan as well. It is also free of garlic. So you can add the amount that works best for you (or leave it out if it doesn't agree with you). Nice!
