Delicate Method
Our Company
Our new Barilla Pesto is prepared with care, with quality ingredients and delicacy.
DELICATE PREPARATION
The secret blend of the unique creaminess of our Pesto lies in the delicate preparation: all the ingredients are treated until we obtain a creamy and homogeneous emulsion. Furthermore, to best preserve the aroma, colour and original taste of the ingredients , we always mix them cold . Of course the raw material is equally important: our basil is picked at dawn to get fresh in our factory in Rubbiano and, to preserve the natural aroma of Parmigiano Reggiano DOP , directly acquiring the whole wheels and grate it just before adding it to our Pesto alla Genovese.
QUICK AND DELICATE HEAT TREATMENT
Quality first of all! Heat treatment is a technique used to ensure preservation and 100% safe quality in all phases of the product's life. In our case, the Pesto undergoes a rapid and delicate use heat treatment thanks to avant-garde techniques.
IN THE LESS TIME POSSIBLE
It is important for us to prepare the ingredients as quickly as possible so as not to risk damaging them. Between the moment the ingredients start to be prepared and the moment the pesto is put in the jar, it takes less than three hours!
Basil is the beating heart of what we do. Taking care of the basil supply chain means ensuring the quality of our products, working side by side with our producers, and protecting biodiversity.
