Barilla Products
Celebrating Barilla products since 1877
WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF BARILLA PESTO BASIL?
Every year, more than 7,000 tonnes of basil arrive in our factory in Rubbiano, which is then combined with the other ingredients and transformed into our Barilla Pesto. Every single basil leaf that comes into our Barilla Pesto is 100% Italian and comes mainly from fields and situations near our factories to minimise the time between harvesting and processing.
IS THERE GLUTEN IN BARILLA PESTI?
All our Pesto are gluten free and are suitable for those who are intolerant to gluten.
DOES THE USE OF BASIL FROM SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE IMPACT THE TASTE OF BARILLA PESTO?
At Barilla, we uphold the highest standards of food safety and product quality, with no compromise on either. We have verified that the agronomic practices defined by the Carta del Basilico program, together with the ISCC PLUS sustainability requirements, help preserve the quality and freshness of the basil, as well as the quality and taste of our pesto products.
