Notes

Storage Instructions: Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for 4-5 days or in the freezer for up to six months. For extra freshness, pour a thin layer of extra virgin olive oil over the pesto before storing in either the fridge or freezer. For convenience, freeze individual portions of pesto in ice-cube trays. Then once frozen, transfer them to airtight freezer bags.
