In earlier times, basil was considered a sacred plant that has been used in medicine. This herb has been used as a remedy for indigestion and abdominal pain. The essential oils of basil heal insect bites. Basil and garlic cleanse the liver, the stomach and intestines, strengthen the heart and circulation and reduce cholesterol in the blood. Pine nuts and olive oil are a source of unsaturated fatty acids and essential minerals that are good for healthy skin and joints.

The Pesto Genovese DOP is used as pasta sauce or for vegetarian lasagna instead of meat sauce. In Liguria, people add a few spoonfuls to the minestrone soup and it also tastes great on pizza!
