Fresh basil flavor with a smooth texture and perfectly balanced taste.
The basil aroma is fresh and authentic, and the consistency is smooth and easy to mix into cooked pasta. It has a rich, creamy mouthfeel with just the right amount of saltiness. A delicious shortcut for a flavorful homemade meal.

Try if you love pesto
This is one of the only store bought pestos I will buy. It has just the right consistency, but also gives that herb flavor without it being too overpowering!

If you like their marinara, this is a must try!
Rao’s sauces have saved me a ton of time throughout the years, I used to hate the flavor of jarred sauces. This brand changed that so obviously I was beyond excited when I saw basil on the shelf of a local grocery store! I grabbed two jars because I knew I would love it! It makes a simple boneless chicken breast over pasta taste like it came from an Italian restaurant!

Disappointed
I normally love all of Rao,s products but this pesto was a disappointment. Very little basil flavor. A food blogger recommended keeping a jar of pesto when you need fresh basil and you’re out of it. This was really bland. I’ll go back to Cento or Delallo so much better.

Zero Pesto Flavor
This doesn't taste like pesto at all. The basil is so overpowering that's all you taste. And no olive oil? It made me think of how grass would taste blended into cheap oil. I've had much cheaper brands that were ten times better. Will not purchase again.

Horrible bitter tast
It’s gritty, almost like there are twigs in it. It’s has a horrible aftertaste. It’s so bitter. It completely ruined a dish I was making for guests. I had to throw the whole dish away. I usually love the Rao’s brand but not this.

Not for us
Our toddler is usually a pesto fan but this one has the herbs cut a little larger than he prefers.

Mustard?
Tastes like they added mustard to it?! It’s awful. Don’t waste your money.

Get another brand but this one!
I’m not very familiar with pesto, but I’ve tried it three times in my life. The first one was a homemade sauce my husband prepared, the second was a store-bought brand we purchased, and the third was this one. I have to say, this doesn’t taste like pesto at all. I checked the ingredients, and I was expecting that rich olive flavor to come through, but it never did. All I can taste is what feels like chopped herbs mixed with oil. It’s really bad—there’s not even a hint of pine nuts. Honestly, it’s just terrible and very disappointing. I’d much rather stick with the homemade version my husband makes or even the super cheap brand I tried before.

Great tasting product from Raos
Definitely one of the better store bought pestos. Tates great and makes a good addition to any pasta dish. Fits in the door of my fridge and I’ve reused the jars for leftover and homemade sauces.

Don't bother
I wanted to like this because it’s Rao’s brand. Hated this pesto. Product didn’t taste fresh and wasn’t very flavorful. Sadly, threw out after one use.

Pesto Magic
Rao’s is one of my favorite brands. The quality of their products and the attention they pay to the ingredients they use is top notch! The pesto is one of my most purchased products. I use it in chicken wraps or with bruschetta, but my favorite is shrimp pesto pasta! It just has such a fresh taste and doesn’t get the weird slimy texture that some pesto’s get. By far my favorite!

Bad pesto
Horrible taste and texture and ingredients. Agree with all the negative reviews. Don’t understand how anyone could give it more than a single star
