Pesto – A Gourmet Twist with Aix&Terra Walnut Pesto

For lovers of Mediterranean flavours, pesto remains one of the most iconic and versatile sauces in European cuisine. Traditionally originating from Liguria in Italy, the classic basil pesto recipe has inspired countless regional variations that showcase local ingredients and culinary creativity. A remarkable reinterpretation is the Aix&Terra Walnut Pesto, an artisanal Provençal creation that brings a sophisticated twist to the recipe while staying true to its fresh, vibrant roots.

A Unique and Artisanal Approach

What sets this walnut pesto apart is its balance of flavour and texture. Made with fresh basil hand-stalked in the Aix&Terra kitchen and combined with walnuts harvested in Isère, it offers a refined and natural taste experience. The walnuts are lightly crushed rather than blended, providing a satisfying crunch and enhancing the richness of the sauce without overpowering the delicate herbal notes.

Prepared with organic olive oil and PDO Parmesan, this pesto delivers a complex yet harmonious flavour profile—intensely aromatic, bright, and creamy with a subtle sweetness from the walnuts. It is an elegant alternative to classic pine-nut pesto and a favourite among chefs for its versatility and gourmet appeal.

How to Use Walnut Pesto

Aix&Terra Walnut Pesto is ideal for both everyday meals and refined culinary creations:

• Toss through artisanal pasta such as tagliatelle, fusilli or rigatoni

• Spread on toasted sourdough, focaccia or crostini

• Serve in verrines or aperitif platters

• Use as a finishing touch for grilled vegetables or fish

• Blend with ricotta or mascarpone for an indulgent dip

Simply stir into hot pasta with a spoonful of cooking water for a silky, restaurant-quality sauce.
