Bringing the sweetly bright, nostalgic flavors of Sicilian basil together with the hearty, distinct nuances of toasted almonds, this pesto illuminates every dish with the taste of summertime. Toss into your favorite pasta, salad, or dollop onto your fried egg for breakfast.
Bona Furtuna’s pestos and spreads capture the fresh flavors of Sicily’s abundant produce. Surrounded by numerous volcanoes, both active and dormant, the island’s exceptional fertility is due to its nutrient-rich volcanic soils and temperate climate. Taste the coast of the Mediterranean in each bite. We certainly won’t question you eating these straight from the jar.
The bountiful garden vegetables of the season inspired this Italian-American dish first created in New York City in the 1970’s. We’ve elevated this delicious dish one step further by mixing our Lemon Salt and fresh asparagus, a wild vegetable that grows in abundance on our farm, into the cream sauce for a richly satisfying meal.
This classic Sicilian comfort food is great around the holidays or as a side dish anytime of the year. What better way to enjoy this unique vegetable than with this flavorful Italian tradition.
Not all pestos are green. Pesto comes from the Italian word Pestare, meaning to grind. In Sicily, the most famous pesto is pesto allá trapanese, from the Mediterranean town of Trapani, Sicily. Adding tomatoes and swapping pine nuts for almonds, Sicilians took the pesto alla genovese and made a dish that's uniquely their own.
I love this pesto- even bought a jar for a friend who makes her own. She said it was better than hers. Thanks for another terrific product.
