Pesto is a sauce that traditionally consists of crushed garlic, European
pine nuts, coarse salt, basil leaves, and hard cheese such as
Parmigiano-Reggiano (also known as Parmesan cheese) or Pecorino Sardo
(cheese made from sheep's milk), all blended with olive oil. It
originated in Genoa, the capital city of Liguria, Italy.
