New favourite pesto
Bought it immediately, when appeared on the shelves and it became one of my favourite pesto. I don't remember it being gritty as other reviews mentioned, the olive is not overpowering in it, just perfect. My partner, who doesn't like olive was surprised how good this tastes.
Too gritty, remove the charcoal
Tastes lovely but the texture is awful. Very off putting. Just need to remove the charcoal from the ingredients and it would be perfect. Couldn’t finish my pasta dinner as the grittiness was just to much.
so good!
delicious, a bit different! great with a bit of oatly yoghurt stirred in for a creamy pesto sauce with pasta/gnocchi
Tasty basil and olive flabour
Great olive taste. Very strong taste of basil as well. Makes your pasta black!
Wickedly delicious
Completely delicious. Went and bought 3 more jars as my family loved this pesto from the word go. Great stirred in pasta, spread on crusty bread and also as a dip with crunchy veg. A great find on the shelf.
Not very nice at all nasty gritty texture.

Good in sandwiches!
It tastes fine! Black olives. Attempted to use it with pasta but unlike other pestos it doesn't coat the pasta evenly but sticks to it in clumps, and didn't look very appealing on the plate. Ended up using this as an olive pate with crackers/rice cakes and also as a spread when making chicken/ham sandwiches. Worked well!
It works
Delicious on gnocchi
Wasted money
For the price a very poor show! It's very gritty and oily with a synthetic overpowering basil taste. The texture that is left after chewing is like when you haven't properly rinsed your mouth out after brushing your teeth.. If this was a school report it would read must try harder! I was expecting a tapenade and strong olive flavour and texture. Save your money guys and get the Tesco own label classic green or red
Not a pasta souce
Hi, I'm Italian :) Here's the secret (ssh! don't tell anyone:D). Although we use almost everything with pasta, this is not exactly something I would put with it. It's not enough creamy, and taste is way too strong for pasta. This is perfect on a toast, on a side with some prosciutto, something like that. For example, try with one Ritz, and you'll see the difference ;)
