Olives et al. Pesto alla Calabrese

Description

Bold, sun-soaked Southern Italian flavour in a jar. Red peppers, ricotta, sun-dried tomatoes & a hint of chilli — perfect on pasta, bread, or straight from the spoon.

Bold. Warming. Southern Italian soul.

There’s pesto… and then there’s Pesto alla Calabrese — a vibrant, comforting classic inspired by the bold flavours of southern Italy, where food is generous, sun-soaked and never shy.

Made in Italy, this richly spoonable pesto blends sweet red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, ricotta and Extra Virgin Olive Oil, finished with Pecorino, basil and a gentle touch of chilli. It’s warm rather than fiery, rounded rather than sharp — deeply satisfying without overwhelming the palate.

The result? A bold, savoury pesto with a natural sweetness from peppers and tomatoes, creamy depth from ricotta, and just enough heat to keep things interesting. Rustic, comforting and full of character — the kind of sauce you’ll keep going back to with a spoon.
