HOW TO FREEZE PESTO

Chef’s Tip:
If you make a lot of pesto and want to freeze some of it simply top a freezer-safe container with a layer of olive oil. Unlike canola oil or grapeseed oil, olive oil isn’t a winterized oil, which means it will congeal in the fridge or freezer.

While this may seem like a negative aspect in most cases, it’s perfect for preserving foods in the freezer as the congealed oil will create an air-tight surface and protect the charred ramp pesto in the freezer.
