2020 Pestos #5: Asda Extra Special Pesto Alla Genovese

This is my favourite jarred pesto of the last few years and I eat it every week!

Once upon a time, all jarred green pesto tasted like pesto alla genovese. Then over time, the pesto companies changed their recipes (presumably so they could use less-standard ingredients) and now pesto alla genovese is the posh / deluxe version. The Asda Extra Special stuff is perfect. Perfect taste, perfect texture, perfect richness. Just what pesto should be.

It’s two whole days till I get to eat it again. I want some now!
