Sugo al Basilico - 200g

This is a simple but particularly tasty sauce, where the fresh flavour of Italian tomato is combined with the sweet and delicate aroma and taste of Genoese PDO Basil together with extra-virgin olive oil. Obviously, no additional flavourings are used. Once again, the great chef Heinz Beck has revealed his flare in creating a masterpiece with a unique flavour. "An essential ingredient at the base of the reputation of Genoese pesto, Genoese PDO Basil is cultivated along the coastal slopes of Liguria. The essential oil composition of the basil grown here is different from that grown in all other areas of the world. The farmland for Genoese PDO Basil is the natural area located along the coastal slopes of Liguria, on this side of the Apennine watershed. The qualities of Genoese PDO Basil derive from the influence of those who live in the region, that is, the history and traditional ‘native’ cultivation techniques matured during the last century, first in Genoa and then throughout the rest of Liguria. Talking about ‘origins’ with regard to Genoese PDO Basil means linking it both to the region of Liguria and to a respect for traditional techniques: only this indissoluble combination can produce this inimitable product."
