a pesto that interprets two of the most used ingredients in Italian cuisine: dried tomatoes and basil. A perfect balance of flavors and aromas.

Dried tomatoes are very rich in mineral salts, especially zinc, copper, calcium, phosphorus and potassium. Provitamin A, which has many beneficial functions for the body, is more present in dried tomatoes than in fresh ones. And lycopene, which is preserved very well even in the dried product, together with vitamin C prevents the formation of bad cholesterol. Basil, on the other hand, is an aromatic plant rich in some essential components for the well-being of the organism and in vitamins C, group B, E and K. It carries out important regulatory functions of both the appetite and the intestine, favors the functionality of the the cardio-circulatory and muscular system, has an anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory action, protects eyesight and skin and generally strengthens the immune system.

Our Segreti di Sicilia line of preserves was born from the love for this land and its traditions, from the scents of our childhood, from our grandmother's secrets and from the rediscovery of an authentic and genuine past. Each product speaks of a specific territory, of a biodiversity that the world envies us. We choose each of them from our own crops or from our network, small and local productions and farmers who work the land with the same passion and respect as in the past. These genuine products are then transformed in our modern canning plant with the help of latest generation machinery. We use innovative cooking and preservation techniques that guarantee absolute respect for the original recipe and, at the same time, the preservation of all the organoleptic characteristics of the fresh product and its main nutritional aspects. The absence of preservatives and colorings allows you to taste a genuine product.
