This category covers every pesto variety across Italian regions: Pesto Rosso (Sicilian red pesto with sun-dried tomatoes), Pesto di Pistacchi (Sicilian pistachio pesto from Bronte), Pesto alla Trapanese (almond and tomato pesto from western Sicily), and regional green pestos from Calabria, Puglia, and Sardinia.
