Pesto Genovese is one of the greatest Italian food and wine excellences, we are used to seeing the shelves of supermarkets all over the world with these green jars, but it is fair to know that what we find in the supermarket, unfortunately, is not the real pesto Genovese.
If you check most of the labels well, especially those of the cheapest products, you will find written: "Pesto alla Genovese" or "Pesto Ligure" and not Pesto Genovese, this difference in the name allows us to easily understand that the product we are buying or that we intend to buy is not the authentic Genovese pesto.
