Once opened, store-bought pesto typically lasts about 5 to 7 days in the refrigerator if kept in an airtight container. Homemade pesto may have a shorter shelf life, generally around 3 to 5 days. To maximize freshness, always use clean utensils to scoop out pesto and consider freezing any unused portions for longer storage. Always check for signs of spoilage, like off smells or mold, before use.

Why is it so hard to find pesto sauce in supermarkets?

Because it does not keep long. Jarred pesto does not taste very good. The quality of pesto in supermarkets ranges from poor to even poorer, even in Italy. A classic pesto contains only basilico leaves, garlic, olive oil, pine nuts and parmigiano reggiano and grana padano cheeses. The more the ingredients stray from those above the less it is a classic pesto.
