Frequently Asked Questions:

What is sun-dried tomato and olive pesto?

Sun-dried tomato and olive pesto is not the typical “green sauce” you think of when you hear the word “pesto.” Closer to a “red sauce,” this crushed raw sauce stars sun-dried tomatoes rather than the loads of fresh basil. DeLallo Sun-Dried Tomato, Basil and Olive Pesto is crafted with sweet sun-dried tomatoes, briny black and green olives, capers, extra virgin olive oil, herbs and spices. Classically, homemade pesto is made with a mortar and pestle, but in modern times, home chefs use a food processor. Pesto sauces are no-cook sauces meant to be enjoyed raw. This means that they are ready to stir into hot pasta for a quick-and-easy pasta dinner or use straight from the jar as a gourmet ingredient in a number of everyday recipes.
