Barilla Launches Vegan Pesto – Here’s Where To Buy It

Barilla has introduced its first vegan pesto, made with basil, oil, and cashew nuts. Described as having an intense basil flavor and creamy texture, the Vegan Basil Pesto is a dairy-free alternative for those who avoid dairy. Without added preservatives or colorings, Barilla promises a unique taste experience and claims that the use of cashew nuts as an alternative to cheese makes it indistinguishable from traditional pesto.

With this new product, Barilla joins other pasta brands that have recently released vegan pestos and pasta sauces. Customers in the US can find Barilla's vegan pesto at Kroger stores, with plans to expand to other retailers in the coming year. For those in the UK and Europe, the pesto is available online through various specialty retailers. This launch reflects Barilla's commitment to offering a wide range of vegan-friendly options, including pastas and sauces.
