Pesto alla Genovese
Product Insights
Pesto alla Genovese is a ready-to-use Italian green pesto sauce classified as a condiment within the 'Fat and sauces' and 'Dressings and sauces' groups. It carries a Nutri-Score of E and falls into the ultra-processed NOVA 4 category, reflecting its high fat (38 g/100 g), saturated fat (5.7 g/100 g) and calorie content (392 kcal/100 g) alongside low sugar (1.2 g/100 g) and moderate protein (4.9 g/100 g). While it delivers a good amount of protein and very little sugar, the elevated levels of fat, saturated fat and salt (2.5 g/100 g) make it best used sparingly as a flavor enhancer rather than a staple ingredient.
