La Malva Rosa Pistacchio Pesto

Tasting Notes from the Curator

La Malva Rosa Pistacchio Pesto is an embodiment of tradition with a transcendent kick, as ancient practices meet modern interpretation. The Pistacchio Pesto offers a symphony of flavors, opening with the nutty and pleasantly sweet essence of pistachios, which are ground to velvety perfection. Imbued with the aromatic touch of herbs from the Ligurian hillsides and united with a hint of garlic, the pesto delivers an earthy base note that extends throughout its taste profile. Extra virgin olive oil, derived from the first cold-press, bestows a fruity elegance, balancing the robust flavors with its light, peppery finish. With La Malva Rosa’s Pesto, you have a condiment that transcends mere taste—it’s an exploration of Italy’s culinary soul.
