Traditional Ligurian red pesto made with sun-dried tomatoes, Genoese Basil DOP, Parmigiano Reggiano DOP, and Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Experience a true taste of the Mediterranean. This savory red pesto expertly pairs the intense, sweet flavor of sun-dried tomatoes with fresh Genoese Basil DOP, creamy Parmigiano Reggiano, and rich Extra Virgin Olive Oil, rounded off with a subtle, warm hint of chili pepper on the finish.
This spread follows the beloved recipe of Grandmother Maie', who prepared it during Christmas time in Liguria when fresh basil was scarce. She combined preserved basil with sweet tomatoes dried under the intense summer sun, creating a heartwarming recipe that has remained a family tradition ever since.

IDEAL FOR:
- Mediterranean Bruschetta: Spread over warm toasted bread, topped with grilled eggplant or zucchini, fresh buffalo mozzarella, and baked in the oven for 4 minutes.
- Pasta Dishes: Tossed with short pasta shapes and finished with chopped fresh parsley.

Frantoio Bianco: Five Generations of Artisanal Excellence
At Zlatá Sicílie, our vision is to establish a new benchmark in the premium food sector through absolute transparency and uncompromising quality standards
A true pioneer in regional gourmet foods, the Bruna family transformed their historic enterprise in the early 1980s. Expanding beyond their traditional production of extra virgin olive oil and Taggiasca olives in brine, they boldly introduced their first authentic batches of Pesto alla Genovese, olive tapenade, and Ligurian-style sun-dried tomatoes. What began as a daring venture has blossomed into an artisanal tradition of over 100 typical Ligurian specialties, now exported to over 25 countries

Frantoio Bianco’s flagship specialty is their 100% natural Pesto Genovese. Crafted strictly according to traditional cold-preparation recipes, it highlights the pristine flavors of fresh Genovese PDO basil, extra virgin olive oil, pine nuts, and parmesan.
