    Not as rich and heavy as expected – I am not a huge pesto fan but this tasted quite nice. It’s quite light and creamy, the chilli is not too strong and that pesto flavour is lovely and not overpowering. I mixed this through pasta, didn’t add anything else. Tasted great!

    + PROS: light and creamy not too chilli

    Tastes really good and I’m usually not a fan of green pesto. Great creamy texture, not too oily, and a nice twist with the chilli! Just the right amount for it to be spicy, but not too hot.
    Tried it on pasta and as a spread on corn thins. Loved both!

    + PROS: Creamy texture Nice twist, not too spicy Versatile use

    Delicious and well balanced pesto that has the right amount of salt and just the right amount of chill not overpowering at all. Very versatile product that just doesn’t have to used with pasta but spread on crackers and eaten with meats.

    + PROS: Easy to prepare Cost effective Quality ingredients
    - CONS: None

    Love this Pesto and have purchased regularly although the addition of chilli takes an already excellent product to a whole new level. The chilli addition adds flavour not heat. Even the little ones enjoyed. Only subtle drawback is the high sodium and sunflower oil added.

    + PROS: Taste Versatility Price
    - CONS: High sodium Sunflower oil added

    I decided to use my pesto with chilli as a sandwich spread/filling instead of on pasta. I spread it on the top and bottom piece of some focaccia, added cheese, tomato and mortadella and it was delicious.

    + PROS: *Tasty, not too spicy from the chilli flavour. *Easy to spread on bread as a substitute for butter as well as a flavour enhancer for the sandwich.
    - CONS: No pine nuts like real pesto, but it was still very tasty.

    I loved it. Perfect balance of flavour and heat from chilli. Used leftovers from the fridge. Fast and simple but full of flavour. Whilst to create the sauce whilst waiting for pasta to cook

    + PROS: Simple and flavoursome. My new go to meal. Chilli was just the right zing
    - CONS: None. Loved it

  15. Not authentic but hits the spot

    I’m not a big pesto fan but even I liked this! The chilli balances the flavour and adds a nice warm buzz.

    Of course, it’s not the real deal – mix of sunflower and olive oils, no pine nuts. But if you’re looking for something quick and easy, it hits the spot.

    + PROS: Chilli is a great addition Convenient Easy to use
    - CONS: High in sodium Uses a mix of sunflower and olive oil
