Masseria Mirogallo Mediterranean Pesto is a traditional Southern Italian sauce made in Basilicata using simple, high-quality ingredients grown and prepared on the estate. Rooted in a region known for bold, sun-driven flavors, this pesto reflects a more rustic and ingredient-focused approach to Italian condiments.
Unlike classic Pesto alla Genovese or Sicilian Pesto alla Trapanese, this version is made without cheese or nuts, allowing the core ingredients to fully stand out. It is crafted with just basil, sun-dried tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, and salt, creating a clean, well-balanced sauce that highlights the natural intensity of each component.
The inclusion of sun-dried tomatoes adds depth and richness, while fresh basil brings brightness and freshness, resulting in a pesto that is both vibrant and savory.
