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 ‼️

a delicious money saver

The best bang for your buck! If I was to go buy all the ingredients separately, it would cost 2 to 3 times more than this product. Such a time saver and a money saver as well!

Hella garlic

I found this pesto to be EXTREMELY garlicky….much more than other brands I’ve purchased. Wound up throwing this away and went back to my original brand.

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!

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.

Too Much Garlic

Overall the flavor is good, but it has too much garlic. The taste of the garlic is overbearing. I couldn't taste the flavor of other foods because the garlic overpowered everything else.

Buy two- you’ll thank me later.

Absolutely the BEST thing to add to your cooking arsenal. We love it as an “extra”. As in- making Palomino style spaghetti and meatballs- with a spoon of this on the side for dipping the meatballs in. Wonderful. I have to fight off my husband and kids to have any when I buy it!

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.

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.

Nasty Aftertaste

Sam's used to carry a different brand of pesto that came in a similar container. They have tried to imitate the other brand here and make their own, but it is gross. This Members Mark brand Pesto has a chemical-like aftertaste that is nasty. Sam's, please go back to the old brand! They did it better!
