Can you refreeze pesto?
Hi, If you want to refreeze your pesto, I would say that depends. Pesto freezes really well. I freeze pesto and I use it within a year. If you defrosted your pesto and only used part of it, I would refreeze it if: 1) The pesto had been defrosted in the refrigerator and did not sit out for longer than half an hour. 2) I had not used any meat or cheese in the pesto Otherwise, it is better to use it all now. Some pestos are made with chicken broth. Those you will likely not want to refreeze or allow to defrost outside the refrigerator. When I freeze my pesto, I leave out the cheese and add freshly grates Parmesan and/or pecorino after it is defrosted. If you notice that the pesto has oxidized quite a bit, I would not use it. And in the future, I would make sure it was sealed up a lot better.
