Most bottled pesto sauces do have an aftertaste/chemical taste and this one is no different (though it isn't as bad). I would say it is "ok" but I also appreciate that it is keto friendly and healthier than many others like it.I chose it because an online chef who I admire greatly, featured/used it in a recipe of hers. However, I found it to be more olive-ey tasting than basil-ey. My kids were ok with it, but honestly, it was not the best pick and I won't be buying again.This has great flavor. When we lived on the East Coast for awhile there was a favorite Italian food place that had great salad dressing. Finally after years we found out how they made it by mixing in the Pesto with their Ranch Dressing.Great taste and texture.Taste great and good consistency when mixing into pastaI was curious what genuine Italian basil pesto might be like. So, although expensive, I purchased this to find out if I was missing out on something.Frankly, although good, it does not measure up to the plastic jar of basil pesto that I usually enjoy from my local, big-box, membership store. Everyone's tastes are different, so this might well be great for some people, but for me, it was not to my favorite.I have never been able to make or yet taste a pesto sauce this good. Will be buying more of this exact one.Beautiful, fresh tasting pesto sauce.. good, strong basil flavor. Made a pesto gnocchi with a touch of pecorino romano and my family lost their minds, good stuff!!
