The most delicious pesto I've ever had
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Classico Basil Pesto Sauce has become one of my favorite shortcuts for making a quick meal taste like I put way more effort into it than I actually did. It has a rich basil and garlic flavor, and it’s creamy without being too heavy. I’ve used it with pasta, chicken vegetables, and even spread it on a sandwich. Makes everything taste fresh and crisp. I especially love keeping a jar on hand because it allows me to throw together a tasty meal in just a few minutes. My favorite is warm pasta with grilled chicken, some Parmesan cheese and a big drizzle of this pesto. This classical basil pesto sauce is something I will definitely keep buying and you should try it too!

Just OK
I wanted to like this. It was just ok. I think if someone has never had fresh pesto this would be palatable. Maybe if you were just using a little in a recipe it would be ok.

Flavorful and lasts a long time in the fridge
We love this pesto. We use it a lot in pasta recipes as well as on sandwiches. It’s really good and super flavorful, so you don’t need that much. If you put on too much, it can be overpowering and taste really salty, so make sure you use it wisely. It lasts a long time in the fridge and stays fresh for months.

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.

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!

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.

Meh
I love pesto so I still finished the bottle but this was pretty mediocre. Very oily and was really more chunky than smooth. The basil was more of a secondary flavor after oil and salt
