    We hosted a dinner for several friends last weekend. My husband grilled fresh Scottish salmon and we topped it with the truffle pesto. It was a hit. The subtle hint of truffle combined with the salmon for a delicious result. I highly recommend it!

Reduced Shipping Costs

Many of our ingredients are perishable and therefore by necessity, require FEDEX Standard Overnight shipping. There is no way around it - it's costly, and understanding shipping calculations practically requires a degree in actuary science!

In order to help defray your cost of shipping, we have incorporated shipping discounts for many of our finer ingredients. These ingredients are noted on the web site and the discounts will be automatically calculated when the ingredient is added to your cart. These discounts are cumalitive, so you could end up with very low or no shipping charges. (dependant on your location)

The best part is that you might as well add that extra pound of mushrooms, a bottle of truffle oil, some pasta or your favorite "pantry staples" because the shipping costs may not even change!

Artisan/History/Story

Trentasette is an artisnal producer who utilizes only the freshest ingredients--like fresh basil, olive oil, garlic, and then adds high-quality truffles. These Mediterranean staples are then crafted in small batches and are ready for your table. The brand name "Trentasette" refers to the latitude of the Bologna region of Italy where this pesto is produced. The area surrounding Bologna is home to the Apenino mountains and a home to the often-elusive truffle.

How to Prep/Store

Store in your pantry unopened. After opening, store any unused amount in the refrigerator. As with all pestos pour a little olive oil to cover to help retain color and freshness. This 6.3 oz jar is perfect to dress a pound of pasta or will top plenty of homemade pizza crusts, as well.

Recipe Ideas

Quick and easy bruschetta. Take your favorite crostini (or make your own by toasting fresh bread brushed with olive oil and a little roasted garlic). Then spread a dollop of Trentasette Genovese pesto and then top with fresh mozzarella, next top with a  slice/piece of fresh tomato. (If truly fresh tomatoes are not in season use our oven roasted tomatoes--you will always want to keep these in your fridge.) If you don't want to put all the effort into layering, mix the pesto, cheese and chopped tomato in a bowl to coat and then let your guests spoon on their crostini. The truffles put it over the top.
