    There are many pesto flavors out there, but most are made with basil, pine nuts, garlic, cheese and oil.

    Does pesto need to be heated?

    No, pesto does not need to be heated before using.

    Do I need to refrigerate my pesto?

    Yes, it is recommended to refrigerate fresh pesto, or refrigerate after opening canned pesto.

    Should I stir pesto prior to using?

    Yes, if your pesto has been sitting awhile, it is highly recommended that you stir the pesto prior to using as ingredients may separate a little.

    • Using pesto as a marinade for meats and vegetables
