Basiltops Pesto is made from basil that is locally grown to exclusive specifications for a sweet, clean, delicate flavor. We use 100% pure olive oil, no fillers or extenders, no preservatives (*except our lemon-lime marinade) and imported lactose-free Pecorino Romano cheese from Italy. It is also concentrated, meaning one 8 oz package can be used to on 2 to 2 1/2 lbs of pasta. In addition to pasta
, the versatility of Basiltops pesto stretches beyond the world of bread, rice, pasta and potatoes, but is a great marinade on chicken, seafood, turkey, pork, lamb, beef, raw vegetables, tofu or as a condiment/flavor enhancer on sandwiches, wraps, eggs, soups, meatloaf, stews, casseroles and salads. Basiltops was a finalist for two awards in the National Association of the Specialty Food Trade’s Sofi awards competition. Our complete line of All-Natural, Artisan Basil Sauces & Pestos was recognized for the Outstanding Product Line award, and our Hemp Seed Pesto was up for the Outstanding Cooking Sauce and Flavor Enhancer award. For those who are not familiar with the NASFT’s Sofi Awards, it is the equivalent of winning an Oscar at the Academy Awards. We are at the following Farmer's Markets:
