Authentic Italian Stories.

Unique basil to make an equally unique pesto
What makes Antico Genovese unique? The recipe created by Roberto Panizza has as its main ingredient a Genovese PDO basil, sourced from farmers in the Prà area. It is a peculiar variety of basil, called ‘Genovese Storico’. Its aroma notes can not be found in any other basil, and therefore in no other Pesto.
A classic sauce of Italian cuisine, known throughout the world. Yet unique and authentic, an exclusive for Bonverre.
