Fine pesto with a very aromatic taste prepared with a high percentage of basil plus the addition of Black Truffle, which gives the product an intense woody note. An ideal dressing for all types of pasta and risottos; it is a delicious finish to accompany meat dishes, on the eggs and to embellish tartines and canapés.
Pesto is ready to pour over just drained pasta. To facilitate the distribution of the sauce, it is recommended to dilute the pesto with a little pasta cooking water. Pesto is ideal with all types of pasta. Try it in combination with main courses of meat or eggs. Pesto is perfect also in combination with shellfish and fish carpaccio.

The black truffle has a long culinary history dating back to ancient Rome, where it was considered a delicacy and was eaten both raw and cooked. Its popularity has had ups and downs over the centuries, and it was not until the end of the Middle Ages that it became popular again as a haute cuisine ingredient. During the Renaissance, the black truffle was used in the territories of Tuscany and Umbria to flavor various dishes, such as eggs, meat, pastas, and cheeses. This prized ingredient was also given as gifts to kings and nobles, and it became a symbol of social status. Over time, searching for and collecting black truffles became an art, and truffle hunters dedicated themselves to searching the woods for this delicacy. Today, the black truffle continues to be a fine dining ingredient, highly valued in Italy and around the world for its intense aroma and unique flavor.
