Nutritional values

Olive oil trumps not only with essential fatty acids, but also with polyphenols. Olive oil but also with polyphenols - a real balm for heart health. Vitamins C and E and secondary plant compounds from dried tomatoes strengthen the immune system.

Did you know that Parmesan is not vegetarian because it contains animal rennet? If you would like to do without it, you can also use a hard cheese with microbial rennet for the pesto, for example Montello cheese.
