Pesto
Product Insights
Emma Giordani Pesto is a green pesto sauce produced in Italy and sold in a 140 g jar. It falls under the ‘Fat and sauces’ PNNS group, carries a Nutri‑Score of E and a NOVA 4 classification, reflecting its high fat (45 g), saturated fat (5 g), moderate sugar (8.4 g), and notable salt content (2.36 g) per 100 g, as well as the presence of milk‑derived ingredients and the additive E300. While it offers basil flavor and pine‑nut nutrients, its ultra‑processed nature and elevated sodium and saturated‑fat levels limit its suitability for health‑focused diets.
