- Genoese pesto made in a mortar
- Ligurian Aperitif
The marble mortar, fresh Genoese PDO basil, pine nuts, Ligurian extra virgin olive oil, Parmigiano Reggiano and Pecorino: the iconic ingredients of authentic Genoese pesto take centre stage in an exclusive culinary experience in the heart of historic Genoa. This cookery class takes place in an elegant frescoed room overlooking Via Garibaldi, the famous Genoese street home to the Palazzi dei Rolli, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Guided by Fabio, you’ll learn to prepare traditional pesto by hand using the ancient technique of the marble mortar, whilst discovering the stories, traditions and culinary secrets of Liguria. After a welcome toast with a glass of local Vermentino, you’ll get to enjoy the pesto you’ve made yourself with Genoese focaccia and bruschetta.

Where
Fabio
Cesarina from 2022Location: Genoa (GE) Languages: Italian, English, French, Portuguese, SpanishI am from Liguria, and I love sharing the soul of my homeland with my guests, from the aroma of freshly crushed basil in the traditional marble mortar to recipes that have been telling the story of Ligurian cuisine for generations. My goal is to offer an authentic experience filled with local flavors, genuine encounters, and fascinating stories, because I believe that food is the best way to truly discover a place. I also guide my guests through Santa Margherita Ligure with my Food Tours: leisurely walks among historic shops, local producers, and regional specialties, where I introduce them to the most authentic side of Liguria, one taste at a time. It's an experience designed for those who want to explore the area like a local, guided by its flavors and traditions.
