Tomato & Ricotta Pesto
Product Insights
Tomato & Ricotta Pesto is an Italian-made red pesto that blends tomatoes, ricotta cheese, cashew nuts and Grana Padano with sunflower oil, sold in a glass jar. Classified in the "Fat and sauces" and "Dressings and sauces" PNNS groups, it carries a Nutri-Score of E and a NOVA 4 rating, reflecting its ultra-processed nature and a nutrient profile that is very high in fat (29 g) and saturated fat (4.7 g) while providing more than double the average energy (344 kcal) but lower sugar (7.8 g) and salt (2.4 g) than typical condiments. The product also contains milk-derived ricotta and cheese as well as cashew nuts and walnuts, so it is unsuitable for those with dairy or tree‑nut allergies, and its high fat content makes it a less healthy choice for low‑fat diets.
