I was so excited when I found this product in my local grocery store! I had recently purchased a "Garden Chile Pepper" blend paste from the refrigerated produce section and was pleased with the product, so I was not hesitant to buy another product from a tube.
What a mistake. I believe that the manufacturer made this pesto with dried basil. It tased like dust and looked like it too. I thought at least I could make some pesto butter to freeze if it wasn't good enough for sauces, but I ended up pitching the whole thing.
Don't waste your time, here. There's just no substitute for the taste of the real -fresh- thing!

This pesto paste is so incredibly convenient, tasty, and versatile. As someone who suffers from dairy sensitivity, I was enthused to find a GOOD VEGAN pesto product! This is coming from someone who is an authentic Italian who grew up on homemade goods. Maybe the previous users who disliked it weren't using good, quality olive oil? Just a thought. It makes the sauce. It's SO MUCH better than cheese-laden commercial crap...

As it turns out Basil is extremely healthy and is listed on the World's Healthiest Foods list (google it)
I haven't tried this as plain pesto but I have added it to
Marinara sauce, beef and barley soup, and chicken barley soup, black bean and tempeh burrito fillings, and probably more things as I just grab stuff as I cook.
I also have the tomato paste in a tube and it is good too, so much better than those silly cans where you have to decide of you want to refrigerate the leftovers or use the whole can when the recipe only calls for 2 tbs.
