Holy cow. You will easily get 4-8 servings out of it, depending on how much garlic you like. It has a pronounced wild garlic flavour, with a little bit of nuttiness, and thats it. Very basic, but very good. The only negative I can think of is that you just cannot eat it in any office setting other than homeoffice. It's very garlicy. +*notes:* This is a strong pesto. Holy cow.

The only negative I can think of is that you just cannot eat it in any office setting other than homeoffice. It's also quite oily, but thats perfectly fine in this case since even the oil is supremely flavourful. This is a great pesto, and I think that the price is perfectly reasonable considering everything mentioned above. **Final verdict:** ★★★★★ @@ -379,6 +379,34 @@ Each pesto is compared in these categories: +### De Cecco "Pesto Rosso" +*Date:* 2022-08-31 + +*Eaten with:* Girandole + +*category:* rosso, creamy + + +*ingredients:* tomato pulp (19%), olive oil (16%), double tomato concentrate (16%), mascarpone (13%), dried re-hydrated tomatoes, basil in olive oil (7%), cashew flour, Grana Padano (2%), pecorino romano, walnuts (1%), maltrodextrins, dextrose, salt, lactic acid, oregano, powdered chilli pepper + + +| Category | Rating / Value | +|-------------|----------------| +| taste | 5/5 | +| consistency | 4/5 | +| ingredients | 5/5 | +| price | 2.99€ | +| size | 200g | + +*notes:* This is overall a tasty pesto, it's rich in flavour, with a not so sour taste of tomatoes, cheese and nuts, and a creamy taste (although not a creamy texture), presumably from the mascarpone. The texture is a little bit grainy, and for that I docked it a point in the consistency department, but still very pleasant to eat. They advertise it as being produced in collaboration with a three michelin star chef. If that's the best he can do, than I don't think he'll keep those. Viewed as a price/value proposition it definitely isn't bad though. A little bit cheaper than the Barilla pestos, but about as good as the best ones they have. It's different enough in taste from the cheap pesto rossos (at 1.19€) that I don't think it makes sense to treat them as being in the same category, therefore this is still a pretty good (but not great) value proposition. + +**Final verdict:** ★★★★☆ + + +*images:* DSC_1593.jpg, DSC_1594.jpg + + + ### Template Make "Name" (Variant) *Date:* date
