What are the herbs in pesto?

The answer to this question depends on which herbs you like. The traditional Ligurian pesto is made with basil, garlic, olive oil, pine nuts, pecorino and Parmesan cheese and a bit of salt. So, basil is the main herb for the traditional recipe. Pesto recipes are made with other herbs as well including parsely, arugula, spinach and oregano. As far as pesto goes, the sky is the limit!

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.
