Guest guest Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 From Essential – Food You Can TrustEssential has introduced a pure pesto that, true to Italian tradition, comprises just four ingredients: aromatic pine nuts, extra virgin olive oil, fresh, fragrant basil and sea salt. Key differences between this and many other pesto sauces are:• The simplicity of its recipe: just four, fresh ingredients• It is a concentrated pesto to which you add extra virgin olive oil to taste• This makes it utterly versatile as a stir-in sauce, ingredient for dips or spread for savoury sandwiches• It is certified organic by the Soil Association• This assures you that each ingredient is free of pesticides, fertilizers or chemical processes and sourced from sustainable farms/plantations• It is certified vegan by the Vegan SocietyThe Essential Vegan Pesto is sourced from an organic co-operative in Italy that brings together the four fresh ingredients locally to produce this authentic sauce. It comes in a 175g jar – which when thinned with extra virgin olive oil is enough for 1.5kg of pasta.Discerning celebrity chef Antony Worrall Thompson is already impressed by this pesto which he recently enjoyed at the show where it was launched. Where can I buy?Now you can enjoy Essential’s Organic Vegan Pesto which is available at good health food shops and many online stockists priced around £2.89 for a 175g jar. Look out for the Essential leaf logo on the label that shows you this is food you can trust.
