This is cheap but the Lidl one is cheaper and tastier.

Is the organic one on offer? It's the only veggie friendly one (not for me I hasten to add).

The gluten free basil one is vegan.

Aldi pesto is about 70p for the "extra special" stuff and superior to this in my humble opinion.

Nice one. Thanks.
My misses only can digest this one for some reason.
Time to stock pile my loft :-)

That's a lot of ingredients for something which should just be nuts, cheese, herbs and garlic.
imo with pesto buy the fresh stuff (most supermarkets have a decent chilled range), make it yourself (only takes about 15 minutes tops to make a batch) or don't bother.
The stuff in the jars always tastes dull, lifeless and sloppy in comparison. It's like Smash vs real potatoes.

I like the sacla pesto, but over the last six months I've had quite a few that tasted really odd, either slightly metallic or just very bad. Has anyone else had the same experience? I'd never had it until recently and have been eating it for years.

You're not the only one then.
I first accused my wife for bad cooking but we had some Costco ones in the shelf and she prepared another which was fine..
Same as you this was about half a year ago

The technical term for what you experienced is pine nut mouth.
Either you recently became allergic to pine nuts or they switched to the cheaper Chinese pine nuts.

It's good to know it isn't just my taste buds then. For what it's worth, if you send them an email they'll send a few vouchers through in the post. The only problem was, the ones that I bought with the vouchers they'd sent had exactly the same problem, haha.

Haha! What a way to go through the troubles to re-live the experience :laughing:

I wasn't sure if you were joking or not, but a quick google suggests it is actually a thing! However, from what I've read it happens a few hours after consumption and can last for days. I didn't experience that, it just tasted horrible at the time and another one didn't taste metallic at all, just more oily than usual and quite bad. I've had a few jars that tasted fine too, which makes me think maybe it's a change in where they source ingredients periodically.
