healthy, tasty and versatile
This stuff is great as pesto sauce but it's also versatile - you can mix with mayo to use as a sandwich spread or add a spoonful to a soup broth. and the ingredients are good.

Product was open/safety seal "popped"
The safety seal on the lid was popped, meaning the jar had already been opened. I returned the product.

Contains cashews
Warning: this is not pesto made with basil and garlic only; the label “photo” is misleading. There are cashews in it. When will these companies learn how to make a nut free pesto?!

Best Pesto!
I had purchased this pesto sauce and Raos pesto sauce to try for a recipe. The Barilla brand pesto was the winner with overall better taste. I have since purchased this sauce again to use. Highly recommend!

What a find!
I'm deathly (literally) allergic to pine nuts. This is the only store bought basil pesto that I've found without them (cashews are used instead).

Not terrible but by no means good.
Way too acidic. This is not great pesto sauce. It will work in a pinch but if you have time to make your own or can find a higher quality premade version then got with that. I felt like I was eaten a bowl of lemons. Way too sour. I’ve had the creamy genovese version and it’s salty but way better than the rustic.

Excellent pesto!
Barilla has good quality products! We used this pesto to sandwiches. This pesto is a bit too salty, but I guess it's normal. Taste is good still and I would buy this again!

Pesto
I hate giving bad reviews. However, I don't know why this has the high reviews. It was very oily, even after stiring it up in the jar. Thank goodness I tasted it before I ruined the pasta. It had a sour taste, nothing like my homemade which I was out of and was in a pinch. Definitely will not purchase again.

This is horrible. I am not sure if it’s the rustic but I never repurchase.
