Classic Pesto, 6.5 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd spot this refrigerated jar in the prepared sauces or specialty refrigerated section—perfect for tossing with pasta at a weekend brunch or dolloping on warm bread. It gives an artisanal, indulgent-yet-wholesome vibe thanks to bright basil, olive oil and Parmesan, with a rich, spreadable texture. The short ingredient list and absence of emulsifiers or preservatives indicate a processed refrigerated condiment rather than an ultra-processed formulation (NOVA 3).

The Classic Pesto can definitely be part of a healthy diet, especially if you're looking for flavor without the added sugars or preservatives.

Just keep in mind that it’s not super high in protein or fiber, so think of it more as a flavorful complement to your meals rather than a standalone health food.
