Frequently Asked Questions
Does Pesto Artichoke Lemon contain allergens?
Yes. The label states it contains milk, from the Parmesan cheese. Other ingredients include artichoke, sunflower oil, garlic, lemon juice and basil. The list does not name nuts, but recipes can change between production runs, so read the printed ingredient panel on the jar you receive before serving.
How should I store it after opening?
The jar says to store it in a cool, dry place and to refrigerate after opening. Keep the lid tightly closed and use a clean spoon each time so the remaining spread stays fresh. Check the printed label and best-by date on the jar you receive for the exact storage guidance.
What makes this pesto different from basil pesto?
This pesto alla Firenze is built on artichoke hearts and lemon juice, with Parmesan, basil and crushed garlic, so it tastes brighter and more savory than a classic basil pesto. Toss it with pasta or use it as a spread. Read the printed label for details.
