Genoese Foods Limited is a family owned New Zealand company specialising in premium pestos, made with fresh herbs and natural ingredients to ensure every pot has exceptional quality and taste.
Genoese is a New Zealand owned food company.
Established in 1993 in Levin, we make a range of authentic pesto and dips for the Home, for the Chef and for Manufacturers. We are the No. 1 selling pesto brand in New Zealand.
Genoese is not just any pesto, it is crafted the traditional way, starting with flavoursome basil field grown on our outdoor Fijian farm which is nurtured from seed. The basil is hand-picked to ensure only the best fresh basil leaves are gathered for our special pesto recipe.
We fly the basil directly to New Zealand and blend it in small batches with carefully selected ingredients, creating the ultimate tasting fresh basil pesto – no compromise.
Our pesto is available through retail stores for the Home, through Distributors for Chefs and Hospitality customers. We custom design and produce products for food manufacturers wanting to use pesto as an ingredient and we contract Manufacture.
Enjoy Genoese, it’s deliciously real and really delicious.
Genoese Foods manufacture premium quality, fresh herb based pesto sauces and tapenades. With the focus on flavour, aroma and colour, we blend the freshest herbs with premium ingredients using advanced food science so you can enjoy outstanding fresh flavors all year round.
Freshness, continuity of supply and pricing are guaranteed. With our own herb farm in Fiji, we source only the freshest herbs all year round.
The benefits of fresh basil (rather than pre-processed basil in oil or frozen basil) are evident in the cleaner, fresher taste and the fresh natural green colour of the product. Quality and freshness are tightly managed to ensure only the best quality product is branded Genoese.
The key to Genoese’s success is simple, Genoese is the only pesto maker in New Zealand to use fresh herbs all year round!
