La Favorita tomato pesto adds a sweet richness to pasta and pizza base. Made with tomato pulp, puree and concentrate, this versatile store cupboard star is bursting with sweet flavours, with cashew nuts bringing a creaminess. This pesto isn’t made with cheese making it suitable for vegans.
Toss this pesto through cooked spaghetti and top with basil for a simple dinner, spread over pizza bases in place of homemade sauce, or stir through cooked fregola and roasted squash for an autumnal salad.
About La Favorita
La Favorita was born just after the second world war. The founder began by trading local Ligurian specialities – such as chestnuts and mushrooms – for anchovies from local fishermen. The enterprise grew and La Favorita began selling sauces and preserves made from local produce. Every product is carefully and lovingly worked to give the customer the feeling that they’re eating something ‘just picked’.
La Favorita take inspiration from traditional Ligurian and Piedmontese country fare. They now sell their products all over the world, but their core values remain the same. Every time you open a La Favorita jar, you know you’re tasting locally grown Ligurian produce with no artificial preservatives or colourings.
