Essential for authentic Mediterranean dishes, these premium kernels bring a smooth, melt-in-the-mouth richness and gentle crunch to both savoury recipes and sweet baking.When lightly toasted in a dry frying pan over medium heat for a few minutes, pine nut kernels release their natural aromatic oils, deepening their flavour and enhancing their distinct aroma. They add texture, depth and a delicate finish to everyday cooking.Popular Uses: Classic Pesto: Blend with fresh basil, garlic, parmesan and olive oil for a traditional pesto alla Genovese.
