Frequently Asked Questions
Does Cucina & Amore Basil Pesto contain allergens?
Cucina & Amore Basil Pesto is made without dairy or tree nuts, so it is formulated to be both vegan and nut-free. It may still be produced in a facility that handles other allergens, and recipes can change between production runs, so anyone with a food allergy should read the printed ingredient label on the jar before serving.
How should I store Cucina & Amore Basil Pesto after opening?
Refrigerate the jar promptly after opening and keep the lid sealed tightly between uses to slow oxidation, which can darken the basil color slightly. Use a clean spoon each time rather than dipping directly from cooking utensils. Check the printed label for the specific use-by window recommended once the jar has been opened.
What can I use Cucina & Amore Basil Pesto for?
This ready-to-use pesto works well stirred into hot pasta, spread on sandwiches or flatbread, spooned over a grain bowl, or used as a dip alongside vegetables and bread. Thinned with a little olive oil, it also makes a quick marinade for chicken or roasted vegetables without any additional cooking of the sauce itself.
How is Cucina & Amore Basil Pesto different from a traditional recipe?
Traditional basil pesto usually includes Parmesan cheese and pine nuts, which make it unsuitable for vegan or nut-free diets. Cucina & Amore Basil Pesto is made without either ingredient, so it delivers the same herbaceous basil flavor while remaining vegan and nut-free, which broadens who can use the jar without needing a substitute.
