*notes:* This isn't a bad pesto, it's just not good enough for the price. The Ja! Pesto Rosso tasted more like a "sun-dried tomato" pesto than this one (that's what pomodori secchi translates to). If they didn't call it sun-dried tomato pesto, I wouldn't be as harsh with the rating, but sadly that's where we're at. Overall, it has quite a mild taste of tomatoes (but not *dried tomatoes*), herbs, and something I can't quite identify. It's quite pleasant, but due to the mild taste you end up using a lot more of it than the much cheaper Gut & Günstig or Ja! Pesto Rossos. This exasperates the pricing issue further. The mild taste is not a surprise if you look at the ingredients, it's almost 50% oil if you extrapolate from the ingredients for which you have percentages, and only 7.5% half-dried tomatoes. I'm dissapointed in this one. The low rating is mostly due to

*notes:* This is a pretty tasty pesto, although I wouldn't say I tasted much of the walnut, which is a little bit disapointing. For a "Ricotta and Walnut" pesto, this is definitely less nutty than expected, but it's still a nice pesto! I'll give it four out of five stars for now. When I find another nutty pesto to compare it against, I might need adjust the score.
