Sacla Roasted Pepper & Crushed Almond Pesto 190g by Amazon.co.uk

• Long days of sunshine and rich fertile soil. The winning combination in Asti that makes prized red peppers grow in abundance.

• Our favourite variety is the famously square Quadrato d’Asti Rosso, so naturally it’s the one we use for our Roasted Pepper Pesto.

• We always wait patiently to pick the peppers until they’re just ripe and marvellously red.

• In the kitchen, we slowly roast them with sweet yellow peppers, and add fresh basil, cheese and garlic.
