You can use this pesto-flavored olive oil in many ways. For pasta, simply toss cooked pasta with a generous amount of the oil, adding your favorite vegetables or proteins.

It's also fantastic brushed onto vegetables before grilling or roasting, imparting a lovely herbaceous aroma and taste. For a simple appetizer, serve it in a small bowl with fresh bread for dipping.

Unlike traditional pesto, which is a paste made from fresh basil, nuts, cheese, and oil, this product is an oil infused with those flavors. This makes it more pourable and easier to incorporate into dishes where a liquid fat is preferred, without the texture of blended herbs and nuts.
