Black Olive Pate, Gria

Perfect for pasta, our Gria signature pesto can also be used as seasoning in soups, grilled chicken, and a variety of fish. Black olive has a strong, salty flavor and aroma.

Pesto Genovese, Gria

For centuries, Ligurian sailors in the spice trade would get their fill of exotic food and return anxiously to the flavors of their homeland, which centered on fresh vegetables and greens from the hillside. From those beginnings, pesto became renown for its simple intensity. Genovese style is the most traditional pesto, as it contains basil, basil and more basil! If you love the spicy, grassy flavor of basil, you’ll love this pesto!

Pesto Genovese, Minasso

I have always been one for fresh pesto, but when I came across this recipe from Minasso, it stopped me in my tracks. When you add the combination of cashews, pecorino cheese, a special blended olive oil to a base of Genovese, it will leave you wanting more.

Porcini Pate, La Rustichella

Fresh porcinis are almost never seen in American markets, so, essentially, there are two ways for Americans to enjoy their strong flavor and heady aroma: dried and infused. This infusion, which includes Champignon mushrooms for a more complex flavor, has all the versatility of fresh or dried porcini mushrooms – and you may even like the taste better! Try this pesto on pasta and crostini. Liven up your risotto with a shot of pesto! Or, top or stuff chicken breasts with a dab of pesto. Pesto is so easy to use and the taste is exquisite. Add a little parma cheese to your pesto for excitement!

Red Pepper Pesto, Minasso

This one is red, but the foundation ingredients are the same as those in every quality Gria pesto: basil, extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, parmesan cheese, pine nut and garlic. The red pepper gives this pesto a slightly sharper and more piquant flavor.

Sundried Tomato Pesto, Gria

For those who love the sharp/mellow flavor combination in sundried tomatoes. This pesto is fantastic stuffed inside chicken! It’s interesting how sundried tomatoes have become so much more popular in the States in recent years! In the old days, tomatoes were preserved so that the family would have some during the winter. Of course that was before canned tomatoes were feasible.
