Pesto Recipes FAQs

How to store pesto

When freshly made with no preservatives, pesto sauce should be kept in a sealed, airtight container such as a jar. It can then be stored in the refrigerator for about a week.

Can you freeze pesto?

Yes, pesto can be frozen. To do so, the ideal method is to scoop servings into an ice cube tray – this makes smaller portions to handle when defrosting. As an alternative, use plastic freezer bags to store manageable quantities of sauce in the freezer. When frozen, it will keep for around 6 months. To freeze it for longer, use a small jar or plastic container – this will keep for up to 12 months.

Is pesto healthy?

Pesto can be eaten in addition to a balanced diet due to its use of ingredients like fresh herbs, nuts and olive oil, providing beneficial nutrients. However, its calorie and fat content should be consumed in moderation.
