Pesto - The Art of Cooking with Herb Pastes
"Classic" pesto is undoubtedly one of the world's great culinary pleasures. Made from fresh basil leaves, pale green virgin olive oil, a well-aged sharp sheep's cheese, garlic, and pine nuts, this sublime experience is usually enjoyed in summer months when fresh herbs are available. In Genoa, Italy, in the Liguria region where pesto originated, fresh basil is available year- round. Genovese cooks used a mortar and pestle to grind the pesto ingredients into a smooth green paste hence the name pesto.
