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 ;)
Great pesto
Just as good if not better than other black/ olive pesto's. Nice olive taste and great all round flavour. 100% worth the price and would buy again. Was very hesitant to try from reading other reviews but happily surprised.
Like sand
Mixed with pasta. Tasteless and awful gritty texture, couldn't finish my plate. Might try for my toddles as they seem to like eating sand.
It’s a Hit!
Bought this because I liked the sound of it, and it turned out to be a surprising hit with the whole family. We are not massive olive fans, but this is balanced really well. We have had it on pasta, rice and bread (good garlic butter alternative for my daughter who can’t eat dairy). It’s a great store cupboard staple and a good way to make a meal tasty.
Totally tasteless and very dry

Decent pesto
Good quality, nice texture. Flavour is not too strong. I love to add this to my choped salads.
Vile
Awful gritty texture. Flavour is fine but it was like eating pasta coated with sand!
Quick Delicious Black Olive Pesto Dish
I had this in the store cupboard, and put together a meal with what I had including some left over cooked pancetta cubes. I cooked some pasta, drained it well, added some chopped fresh spinach, the pancetta pieces and a crushed clove of garlic, stirred well then added the Wicked Black Olive Pasta, finished with some ground black pepper. Delicious, quick, economical. Will definitely buy this pesto again.
