Pesto alla Calabrese

Pesto alla Calabrese is a ready-to-use Italian pesto sauce marketed by Italians do it better. Classified in the ‘Fat and sauces’ and ‘Dressings and sauces’ groups, it delivers 46 g of fat (including 7.5 g saturated) and 3 g of salt per 100 g, resulting in a Nutri‑Score of E and placing it in the ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) category; while it provides 4 g of protein and low sugar, its high fat, saturated fat and salt levels are concerns. The sauce adds intense Calabrian flavor to dishes but should be used sparingly, especially by individuals monitoring fat or sodium intake.
