I’m not a fan of being completely rude about things, but sometimes it can’t be avoided. There’s nothing good about this pesto. It’s overly-puréed, so it’s super smooth

This pesto was smooth, but not quite as bad as Delallo. It didn’t look appetizing either. It was on the browner side, which didn’t make me feel good about what I was about to taste.

Unlike Delallo and Alessi, this pesto finally had some texture. It looked better than the others, but also seemed a little heavy on the oil. I tried it plain and on bread and both times, I felt like the flavor fell flat

I recently tried this pesto on a pizza and felt like it was decent, so I was hopeful I’d love it during this taste test. I didn’t love it, but obviously I didn’t dislike it either, so don’t freak out Trader Joe’s fans.

Finally, a pesto with a texture I liked! I could see the ingredients and even though it was a bit on the oily side, it wasn’t offensively so. The flavor was mild and subtle.

I should talk about appearance first, but I want to talk about flavor! Finally, this one had it! Big, basil flavor that was balanced with just the right amount of garlic and Parmesan.

This pesto is hands-down the best of the bunch. It also comes in the biggest container of the bunch, so if you love pesto, then this purchase will be well worth it
