Fresh Basil has ben replaced by Rapeseed oil.After many taste tests we rated this Pesto the best available in a jar (a couple of years ago). I noted that my favourite recipe was oily back in November 2025. Tried it again today (with a new jar(!), being extra careful with ingredients) and it was oily again.

On investigation, the ingredients now have Rapeseed oil as the second ingredient, and the nutrition shows that it contains more than 30% more fat (oil) than before. This implies that the basil is no longer fresh basil, because that was surely the only source of water that could be replaced by oil. It's greasy.

As near as authentic in a jarI buy this now ovet the JS TTD pesto. Its a far better product both textually and in flavour. Ive yet to find a better bottled pesto. It tastes of basil not overly acidic and the sauce splits slightly when reheated which coats your pasta beautifully. I would recommend this over any others. A lovely day to day pesto.

Superior pesto compared wto JS TTD pesto.This is a really good pesto, well balance acidity and seasoning. Ive looked at the ingredients dec, and it contains all he basic ingredients you would expect in an authentic pesto. Unlike the Sainsburys own TTD brand it does not contain sugar, potato starch or vegetable fibre! Why would it and who wants that in an authentic pesto recipe? This Belazu product is very well balanced unlike the statchy overly acidic JS version.
