The protected basil — Basilico Genovese DOP [Reg. CE 1623/2005] — gives this lemon pesto a herbal backbone. Cashews bring the smooth, nutty body that a classic pesto would get from cheese; pine nuts add a resinous depth; the green olive base and olive oil carry the structure; the fresh lemon peel (1%) and a natural lemon flavouring lift everything with a bright citrus aromatic. A lemon pesto that works as well with fish as with greens, and that respects dairy-free diets without compromising on body.

Best uncooked or added off the heat: tossed with linguine and a drizzle of EVO; spread on bruschetta; as a dressing for grilled fish, prawns or sea bass; stirred into a risotto al limone at the last moment; spooned over burrata.
