Salty

It was good in the recipe; having none in my freezer from the summer, but way too salty. Cut out the salt in your recipe where you use this and it will be good.

Woah... that's a lot of garlic

Holy smokes!!! This was so raw garlicky. I thought it was expired when I opened it because of the amount of garlic. There must be 50 cloves of garlic in this jar.

Great pesto! - Keep it refrigerated!

This is a tasty pesto sold in the refrigerated section of Sam's. The label says to keep refrigerated. Several reviews complain of it going bad or exploding in the pantry. That's because it doesn't belong there!

Don't ignore the negative reviews.One of the worst

You don't have to be a pesto snob to dislike this. Too salty, garlicky, and everything except for the taste of pesto. Eat a spoonful in any dish and you might throw up.

Seal Broken

Seal was broken and somehow the pressure of the oil bubbled up over the edge and made a mess in my pantry. It was sitting on a perfectly level shelf. Didn’t try it due to seal being broken.

Get rid of the seed oil

This pesto is delicious but come on....make it with olive oil. Charge a bit more if needed. You just took a product and made it unhealthy with that one simple ingredient.

Rather disapointing

Not very flavorful. Usually have good luck with Members Mark brand products so I had expectations for this pesto, but it was not what I expected. It was rather bland. I had to add a different brand of pesto to save the dish.

Pesto with no flavor

I’m not sure how it’s possible to make a product that’s supposed to be very rich in flavor so bland. Also the texture is not thick, it’s very roughly chopped and pretty liquid.

Unbelievable reviews

Absolutely disgusting pesto. This tastes nothing like a real Italian (Genovese) pesto. It's basically a garlic puree. When you open the lid the only aroma you will get is garlic.

DO NOT BUY

Exploded in my cabinet before I could try it. There was oil EVERYWHERE. What a pain to clean!! Why would this happen? I had only had it for a week.
