Nestled along the rugged coastline of Liguria, Italy, lies the picturesque village of Tellaro. Known for its stunning views of the Ligurian Sea and its charming narrow streets lined with colorful buildings, Tellaro offers more than just breathtaking scenery—it is also a haven for food enthusiasts eager to indulge in authentic Italian cuisine.
No culinary journey through Tellaro would be complete without savoring Pesto alla Genovese, the region’s iconic sauce made from fresh basil, pine nuts, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and extra-virgin olive oil. This vibrant green sauce is traditionally pounded using a mortar and pestle to achieve the perfect consistency and balance of flavors.
