The Surprising History of Breakfast Salads

The story of breakfast salads can be traced back to the ancient Babylonians, Egyptians, Greeks and Romans who were known to consume mixed greens with a combination of salt, oil and vinegar. These early salads were often made with ingredients like lettuce, celery, radishes, and onions, which were considered beneficial for digestion and overall health. Today, salads burst with global flavours, a testament to their enduring appeal and adaptability. So grab a fork, savour the taste of history, and enjoy the ever-evolving world of the salad!

Pesto: The Italian Essential

Pesto, born in Genoa, is all about keeping it simple. It is a fusion of garlic, basil, quality nuts, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil for a tasty experience. The Italian tradition of "pestare" (meaning "to pound" or "beat") highlights basil, making it a guilt-free delight for your taste buds.

A Pesto Above the Rest

While countless pesto variations exist today in the market, Chilzo's takes the cake (or should we say the salad?). Crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients and devoid of artificial preservatives, our pesto promises an authentic Italian experience in every jar. What truly sets us apart is our commitment to innovation. We use wholesome, plant-based ingredients such as parmesan cheese ensuring it's free from beef rennet, commonly found in other store-bought pesto, fresh basil, and walnuts to deliver the classic pesto flavour. This makes it perfect for those following a healthy lifestyle without compromising taste or texture.
