Love this sauce!
I LOVE this pesto!!! I like to use this especially for my favorite zoodles recipe. It mixes in easily with ths other ingredients. The flavor is rich. It smells amazing. It's super thick, full of basil. It's great on toast and grilled cheese sandwiches too!

Great for the price!
For the price, you cannot beat this pesto sauce. I do wish the olive oil was better quality. But overall, is solid fine. I love adding it to steak, and serving with Parmesan orzo. This really brings a great taste to a dish.

Horrible taste!! Never again.
We use pesto mostly in pastas. We have been using Barilla-brand pesto for years, but recently it wasn't available in our grocery store so we decided to try other brand. This pesto tasted absolutely horrible!! We didn't like the taste at all. Will never buy this pesto again! We will continue to use Barilla's pesto, it's the best!

Vibrant
The pest pesto on any shape noodle for a quick girl dinner. It’s fresh and vibrant and easy to transform a simple pasta. I keep a jar on me at all times.

Pesto sauce
I am very happy with the ingredients and texture of this pesto. It has a good flavor and is highly versatile and can be used in many different ways. It comes in a glass bottle.

Tastes nice on pasta
Packaging is what’s to be expected from a canned product. The top is fairly easy to open. It has a nice flavor and is consistent from container to container. I’m not sure how versatile this is. since it’s a very specific kind of flavor. I’ve purchased it many times.

Never enough pesto
This stuff stays stocked in my kitchen. So versatile pasta and sandwiches galore. I also like to keep the packaging for little cute jars. It’s a strong flavor as I am personally not a fan of bland pesto. Big fan of basil pesto!

I tried pesto sauce
I tried this pesto sauce, and it brought a burst of fresh basil flavor to my pasta dishes! The texture is nice and smooth, and it has a good balance of garlic, parmesan, and pine nuts. It’s also versatile; I’ve used it on sandwiches and as a pizza base,

Delicious and savory for just about anything you c
Classico Signature Recipes Traditional Basil Pesto Sauce & Spread is a winner when it comes to good packaged pesto. It has amazing flavor and you can use it for so many different things. I do wish there was a bigger jar, but otherwise this is one of my favorites.

Could taste fresher
Although this is one of the better mainstream store-bought pestos, it still has a pretty strong “packaged basil” taste. I usually add some fresh or even freeze dried basil to help combat the wimpy basil taste.

Odd taste
Was hoping to love this as I'm a big pesto and basil lover; however, the taste was really off-putting, almost chemical-like. Would not purchase again

Allergy safe pesto ...no nuts
This is the only pesto my daughter can enjoy as she has a tree nut allergy. Though I know pesto typically tastes best with pine nuts or even walnuts, knowing she can enjoy this particular pesto is great. Thank you for the no nuts pesto!

Buy Good and Gather Fresh Pesto Instead
Not good and way too oily. Buy the Good and Gather fresh pesto instead.

DO NOT BUY
Save your money and buy ANYTHING OTHER THAN THIS. The flavor is way too herby and overpowering. The excess herbs make it so every bite is way too flavorful in a bad way.
