Sisters Giovanna and Ida Conforti developed Pestosino Calabrese amidst the uncertainty and fear of the first COVID-19 lockdown, which abruptly halted their nascent company’s production just a month and a half after opening. With unwavering creativity and determination, they created a delicious product that became a symbol of Calabrian resilience, sourcing all the ingredients exclusively from their home region.

Use this Calabrian delight as a panini or sandwich spread for a tasty alternative to other options like mayonnaise. A spoonful makes a great addition to pasta sauces or dips. It can also be used as a condiment for roasted vegetables, grilled meat. However you decide to use it, you’ll find that the Calabrian peppers bring a unique flavor to your homemade creations.
