Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.8 / 5 from 37 reviews.
Absolutely divine and lasts really well too. It is so delicious, I want to add it to everything! Whether spread on a sandwich or added to a pasta sauce, this is an essential staple in the fridge.
I went hiking in the Cedarberg, was wading through the Kromriver, when a flash flood took place.
My rugsack was ripped off my shoulders, but fortunately I had kept the Pesto separately in my pocket.
I landed up spending three days holed up in the Wolfberg Arch, and survived on two scorpions and the Pesto, but it was the nourishing Pesto that kept me alive.
I'm sure you have heard the song Last night a DJ saved my life. Well to paraphrase, Last night your Pesto saved my life.
I owe you more than I can ever say
Grazie
Love this pesto, it doesn't have a layer of oil on it like the local ones, and it's a more subtle flavour. I'll have to buy a case next time so I always have in my cupboard
Thank you for the amazing service and amazing product, the quality, efficient delivery and timeleous response from the team has been remarkable, thank you!
Hassle free shopping. My order was delivered within days. The Polli Pesto alla Genovese was one of the best I’ve tasted. Wish you would stock the Barilla one though.
This product adds instant flavour and texture to any pasta dish. I spread it generously over ravioli to enhance the taste of that dish instead of cream sauce. Similarly on angel hair pasta with Parmesan cheese (I use nutritional yeast in place of the cheese)
We have been using Polli Pesto regularly from the time I purchased a bottle just to try it as it is very well priced. It is delicious with all manner of pasta dishes. I re-ordered the pesto on an evening when I went to the fridge and found that I had very little of my last bottle of Polli pesto was almost empty. Since my wife and I use it constantly, I immeditely ordered another 6 bottles. I was extremely impressed with the fact that I received my order the very next afternoon.
My favorite pesto of all time. Creamy deliciousness in a bottle. No metallic aftertaste as is the case with some bottled pestos. So versatile and keeps very well in the fridge.......well for those times there is left.
