Basil & Cayenne Pesto 
(Heat rating 3/5)
Fresh, fiery, and full of flavour, True Origin Basil & Cayenne Pesto is a bold twist on the classic, made in Eswatini by our fair trade supplier, Black Mamba. Crafted in small batches using fragrant basil, zesty cayenne chillies, and all-natural ingredients, this herby chilli pesto for pasta and veg brings a perfect balance of freshness from the basil and subtle lasting heat.
Toss it through pasta, dollop onto roasted vegetables, spread in sandwiches, or swirl into soups. This versatile pesto lifts any dish with its punchy, aromatic flavour.
