If you have a Wegmans near you they have a Mediterranean Bar with olives, bruschetta, pesto, etc. That's where I usually get mine. Very good as is everything at that bar.


 

 

Wegman's jarred in the 'Italian'/jarred sauce aisle is also very good.  They have smaller size jars, which I like.

 

It is not worth my trouble to make from scratch anymore because Wegman's is delicious!

I'm also a fan of Costco's or Wegman's pesto!  Delicious!

It's summer, fresh basil is in the stores, farmer's market & is so easy to make. Once you have homemade pesto, or really homemade anything, store bought just doesn't do it. Make some. You'll love it.

Quite a while ago, America's Test Kitchen did a taste test.  Buitoni won hands down.

I make my own in the summer but only buy Buitoni if needed.
