Barilla Products
Celebrating Barilla products since 1877
WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF BARILLA PESTO BASIL?
Every year, more than 7,000 tons 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 minimize 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 have very high food safety and quality standards for our products and we do not accept this. In fact, we have been able to certify our basil from sustainable agriculture while preserving the quality of our Pestos and their delicious taste!
