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.
