  • Toast the pine nuts before using them in the pesto. This will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. The olive oil is a key ingredient in pesto, so it's important to use a good quality oil that has a nice flavor.
  • Don't over-process the pesto. Over-processing will make the pesto too smooth and lose its texture.
  • Store the pesto in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze the pesto for up to 3 months.
