Member's Mark Basil Pesto

Good flavor and makes a great addition to pasta. Only issue is the expiration dates. A lot of the time, the expiration is only a week after purchase.

Always makes Italian pasta or any kind soar!!

We add this to many pastas and even mashed potatoes ‼️I had tooth surgeries and could only eat soft food. It got so boring! Hubby put some of the pesto on mashed potatoes and ZING‼️It was delicious ‼️

Wonderful pesto!

I adore pesto! I love making it from scratch but when you’re in a pinch and don’t have time this is my GO TO! It makes fabulous entrees and lunches in a pinch!

Basil Pesto MESS

Never been able to taste it, I've purchased it twice and both times I've had a mess to clean up because the jar literally explodes and I ended up Thankfully getting a refund both times.

Could use a recipe adjustment

Most affordable premade pesto locally. Unfortunately I'm always a bit disappointed: the expiration dates are generally not far-off, and the flavor is quite pungent -- not sure if it is one of the cheeses they use, a crappy oil, or if there is just too much lemon -- it always gives me a feeling that the product is rancid when in reality it may just need a recipe modification. I hope they can figure out a better recipe at some point.

Good quality Pesto

Pesto is great to keep around the house. We use it on some sandwiches and wraps instead of mayonaise. Its also perfect for a fast pasta dish. I was happy to find a good quality Pesto at Sam's. I do have to mix in just a touch more olive oil with this one though to spread it. Its pretty thick.

Too garlicky this time

In the past, I absolutely loved this pesto. The last time I bought it, the sauce had way too much garlic in it. From someone who loves garlic and uses a lot of it in cooking, that means it has TONS. I don't know if it was a one-off batch, or if they changed the recipe, but I will try it one more time in the not-near future. If it's still that garlicky, I'll forever pass on this one.

A little pesto on your pasta

One of my favorite dishes is a plate of spaghetti slathered with some fresh basil pasta! The first pesto I ever tasted was a batch my mother made when I was young. I immediately fell in love with it. However, I have found it difficult to find a store bought pesto that competes with mom’s homemade. Member’s Mark pesto is one of the best store bought pestos I have found but to be honest I prefer homemade.

Good flavor

We really like this Pesto product. However, when I make my pesto from scratch I only use extra virgin olive oil (authentic recipe) instead of a vegetable oil blend (1st, canola, which is a cheap, unhealthy processed oil, along with 2nd, EVOO). Adding sunflower oil to the basil blend is okay, since sunflower oil is also healthy, but minimally processed oil is preferred. Purchasing the product pre-made is much less expensive than buying all the ingredients separately, especially the pine nuts and cheeses, and is the reason I purchase it from Sam's.
