Normally pesto is used in small quantities – you only need a few tablespoons to create an amazing pasta sauce that tingles on the palate. Barrier bags are the perfect way to store pesto because they come in small sizes with a convenient spout to squeeze out the paste. This way the pesto never loses its freshness; it can be only used for one or two meals before it runs out. Perfect for the fussy Italian chef!
A version of pesto originated with the Romans who mixed herbs with garlic and olive oil. It’s also used in French cooking, but without the pine nuts – it’s called pistou. People who love herbs in their soups, sauces and pasta dishes love the convenience of flexible food packaging. It allows them to maintain quality while keeping up creative experimentation.
