Genoese Foods Genoese Foods Limited is a family owned New Zealand company specialising in premium pestos, made wit Genoese is a New Zealand owned food company.

Established in 1993 in Levin, we make a range of authentic pesto and dips for the Home, for the Chef and for Manufacturers. We are the No. 1 selling pesto brand in New Zealand. Genoese is not just any pesto, it is crafted the traditional way, starting with flavoursome basil field grown on our outdoor Fijian farm which is nurtured from seed. The basil is hand-picked to ensure only the best fresh basil leaves are gathered for our special pesto recipe. We fly the basil directly to New Zealand and blend it in small batches with carefully selected ingredients, creating the ultimate tasting fresh basil pesto – no compromise. Our pesto is available through retail stores for the Home, through Distributors for Chefs and Hospitality customers. We custom design and produce products for food manufacturers wanting to use pesto as an ingredient and we contract Manufacture. Enjoy Genoese, it’s deliciously real and really delicious.
