REGION: EMILIA-ROMAGNA, ITALY
This distinctive pesto brings together fermented Black Voghiera PDO garlic, fragrant basil, and toasted walnuts to create a bold yet balanced reinterpretation of a classic Italian condiment. Made by Nero Fermento in Emilia‑Romagna, the foundation of this pesto is their naturally fermented black garlic, produced through a slow, controlled aging process that enhances sweetness, umami, and complexity without additives or caramelization.
The richness of black garlic pairs seamlessly with fresh basil and walnuts, resulting in a pesto that is deeply savory, slightly sweet, and incredibly versatile. Smooth, aromatic, and layered in flavor, this pesto showcases how traditional Italian ingredients can evolve through thoughtful craftsmanship while remaining rooted in origin and quality.
