Coppola Salerno Pesto Siciliano, won 2 Star for their exceptional flavor by the Great Taste Awards 2020!
Judge’s comments: “Thick and chunky, this sauce is packed full of sundried tomatoes with a soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture. The flavour of the herbs, cheese and garlic give a wonderful added depth to the already umami rich tomatoes. The tomatoes have a good bite and the oil seems very light.”
Our Pesto Siciliano recipe features crushed Italian sundried tomatoes, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, pine nuts, and cheese. The name “pesto” itself reflects the traditional method of preparation, which involved crushing or grinding the ingredients in a marble mortar with a circular motion using a wooden pestle.
Originating from the Sicilian isle in southern Italy, this vibrant pesto is ideal for stirring through a plate of pasta, adding depth to soups, gravies, and casseroles, or even enhancing the flavor of cooked vegetables.
