Pesto
Product Insights
This Garofalo France Red Pesto is a tomato-based sauce enriched with Pecorino Romano cheese, rehydrated sun-dried tomatoes, sunflower oil and crushed cashew nuts, packaged in a 175 g glass jar with a metal lid. The product falls in the ultra-processed NOVA 4 category, carries a Nutri-Score of E, and contains high levels of saturated fat (6.2 g per 100 g) and salt (2.8 g per 100 g), which are concerns for cardiovascular health, while also providing 50% fruits/vegetables, modest fiber (1.8 g per 100 g) and low sugar (3.9 g per 100 g). Allergens listed are milk (from Pecorino Romano) and tree nuts (cashew), and the formulation includes two additives - lactic acid (E270) and citric acid (E330) - which may be of concern for sensitive consumers, but the sauce delivers authentic tomato flavor and a rich cheesy profile.
