Not the Pesto I expected
I bought two of your Pesto sauces, The Rustic & the Genovese. I didn't look at the ingredients in the store, but when I got home, I noticed that each one had many different ingredients that I didn't think should be in an authentic pesto. Which is normally made with just 5-7 basic ingredients, Basil, EVOO, Garlic, Pine Nuts, Cheese & lemon juice (opt) & salt & pepper. I wanted to mention that I like your Pasta & Pasta sauces, which are true to the Italian recipes. I hope your company can reduce the ingredients in the Pesto products.

This last purchase was the worst pesto I’ve ever had. About 80% of the jar was oil, and the taste was also bad.

Odd
Tasted like it had star anise added. This was not a favorite in our house.

Great tasting Genovese pesto sauce
I really like this brand for taste and value. Not cheap but a jar will easily support 3-dinner-sized portions - it’s easy, fast (scoop and stir on fresh hot pasta) and tastes great.

Sunflower oil is the first ingredient!!!
Sunflower oil is the first ingredient? I don’t understand why they can’t make it with healthy oils. I won’t buy it again, which is a shame because the taste is pretty good.

Perhaps if you're not italian
If you are expecting real pesto this is not for you. If you like American pesto that tastes a bit like vodka and licorice then you may be fine with this.

Creamy Genovese Pesto- NOT in this house again!
I never met a pesto dish I didn't love until we tried this last night. Previously we've used several brands of jarred pesto, but I could not eat this! I didn't expect a "creamy" version to be that different, but it was. Simple meal- grilled chicken, Barilla spaghetti with Barilla Creamy Genovese Pesto. We never tried "creamy" before, but I couldn't imagine it would be that different. My husband didn't like it either, but he was starving & ate his. NEVER again!

Pretty good but not what i expected
When it said creamy I thought it meant more cheese or something to that effect but it just meant it was smooth. For a smooth pesto it’s good but maybe it’s just me but I assumed it would be something else. Oh well it was still good just not what I expected.

Bad taste
Did not like the flavor at all. Used it to make a pasta pesto dish and ended up throwing out most of the dish

Very creamy...made my pasta salad gooey
This is the very creamy kind of pesto....if that is what you are looking for. I was looking for one for pasta salad, it kinda made my salad mushy. This is down to personal preference, but just put out the note here to be helpful.
