Classic Pesto, 6.5 OZ
What You Should Know
You’d spot this jar of Gotham Greens Classic Pesto in the refrigerated prepared foods or specialty sauces section — the kind of thing you grab for an easy weeknight pasta, a dollop on sandwiches, or a weekend bruschetta. It feels fresh and artisanal: bright, herbaceous, and indulgently oily with a nutty texture from pine nuts and grated Parmesan; the short, recognizable ingredient list and lack of industrial additives point to a lightly processed prepared condiment rather than an ultra‑processed product.

Common Questions about Classic Pesto, 6.5 OZ
The Classic Pesto can definitely be part of a healthy diet, especially if you're looking for flavor without the added sugars or preservatives. It’s rich in healthy fats from the extra virgin olive oil and pine nuts, which can be great for heart health. 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.
