Nutritional values

By promoting the production of bile acid, basil is a supportive aid to digestion. Vitamin E from the pine nuts provides protection against free radicals and helps against premature ageing of the skin. Omega-3 fatty acids, which are also contained, can have a positive effect on blood lipid values.

The pecorino can be replaced by other spicy cheeses such as Grana Padano or Parmesan. Or you can try the unique spice of a freshly grated Gruyère!
