Pestos: The Sicilian Art of Seasoning with Taste and Passion

Sicily is an island of intense flavors and intoxicating aromas, and pestos are the epitome of this richness. In Frantoi Cutrera's "Segreti di Sicilia" line, pestos are more than just condiments, but true culinary tales that encapsulate the history, tradition, and passion of our land. Each jar is the result of artisanal craftsmanship that respects the nature of the ingredients, many of which are carefully harvested and selected to preserve all their organoleptic properties.

Pesto is an ancient art rooted in Sicilian tradition. The most famous, Pesto alla Trapanese, is a testament to the island's history as a crossroads of cultures. Legend has it that it originated in the port of Trapani, when Genoese sailors, disembarking in the city, shared their basil and garlic pesto recipe. Sicilians, with their innate creativity, adapted the recipe to their homeland's produce: tomatoes, almonds, and a touch of pepper, creating a sunny and enveloping sauce that has conquered the world. Our version of Pesto alla Trapanese honors this tradition, using only fresh tomatoes, basil, almonds, and our extra virgin olive oil, for an authentic and unforgettable flavor.

But the excellence of our pestos doesn't stop at the classics. Our Pistachio Pesto is a true gem of Sicilian cuisine. Made with the island's finest pistachios, carefully selected and expertly crafted to create a velvety cream with an intense flavor, this pesto is a unique sensory experience. Pistachios, with their unmistakable sweetness and delicate aroma, blend with extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of salt for a creamy and versatile result. It's the perfect condiment for a pasta dish, a burst of flavor on bruschetta, or a special touch on fish or white meat main courses.

Each of our pestos is a celebration of a typical local ingredient. Our Wild Fennel Pesto, for example, captures the essence of Sicily's wild and unspoiled nature. Hand-picked fennel and blended with extra virgin olive oil, it creates a pesto with an intoxicating aroma and a delicate, fresh flavor, ideal for seasoning pasta with sardines, according to Palermo's tradition, or for enhancing soups and fish dishes. Our Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto, meanwhile, concentrates all the warmth and intensity of the Sicilian sun in a jar. The slowly dried tomatoes are then ground and mixed with almonds, basil, and oil, creating a boldly flavored pesto, perfect for bruschetta, sandwiches, or to spice up a simple plate of spaghetti.

Our philosophy is based on simplicity and quality. We don't use preservatives, colorings, or artificial additives. Each ingredient is carefully selected, and the processing is done with respect for the raw materials, preserving their nutritional values ​​and original flavor. The result is a genuine product that brings all the flavor of authentic Sicily to the table. Our pestos are ideal for those seeking a healthy, quick, and tasty condiment without sacrificing quality and tradition.

How to use pesto in cooking

Our pestos are incredibly versatile and go far beyond pasta. Sure, they're the perfect accompaniment to a plate of spaghetti, trofie, or busiate, but their culinary possibilities are endless. Pistachio Pesto is excellent for enhancing a risotto, filling a gourmet sandwich, or accompanying a salmon fillet. Sun-dried Tomato Pesto is ideal spread on focaccia, mixed with fresh cheese for a quick appetizer, or to flavor a roast. Wild Fennel Pesto pairs perfectly with shrimp or other seafood. Experiment with flavors and be inspired by the richness of Sicilian ingredients.

Frequently Asked Questions about Secret Pests of Sicily

What is the difference between Cutrera pesto and industrial pesto?
Our pestos are handcrafted, without the addition of preservatives or chemical additives. We use only fresh, high-quality ingredients, like our extra virgin olive oil, which give the product a unique flavor and texture impossible to replicate on a large scale.

How should I store pesto once opened?
Once opened, we recommend storing the jar in the refrigerator, covering the surface of the pesto with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil to preserve its freshness and slow oxidation. Consume within 5-7 days of opening to fully enjoy its flavor.

Are your pestos suitable for vegetarian or vegan diets?
