Thanks for all the wonderful feedback on the garlic scape pesto. We especially love the customer who called our pesto "heavenly"!
We sell our pesto frozen. It will last in the freezer for over a year. When when you need some pesto, lightly thaw the pesto and scoop out what you need. Then put it back in the freezer. If you completely thaw the pesto, it will keep refrigerated up to 5 days.
Our Garlic Scape Pesto is made from organic garlic scapes (which are only available in June of every year) from the tops of garlic, local award winning Wiscsonsin Parmesan cheese, 1st pressed extra virgin olive oil, lime juice, pepper and salt.

With food processor running, add oil through the feed tube and process less than 30 seconds. Remove lid, add half of Parmesan cheese and process until well mixed less than 10-20 seconds or use the pulse to mix the pesto, then add the rest of cheese and Pepper. Process until all the pesto is mixed well.
“Scapes” are the flower stalks found on certain members of the allium family. Garlic scapes, which appear on the finest hard neck garlic varieties, curl upward as they grow, ultimately straighten, and then grow little seed-like bulbs. A young scape makes one or two loops before straightening out, and then develops seeds. By snipping off the scapes before the seeds develop, more energy goes into making a bigger garlic bulb. When the garlic scapes are still in full curl, they are tender and delicious. They have a taste that is milder than the garlic cloves, and have a broad spectrum of uses from soup to salads to garnishes. The garlic scape is an allium delicacy that is highly prized and traditionally used in Southern, Eastern European, and Korean cuisine because of its subtle garlic flavor and tender-crisp texture.
To harvest your garlic scapes, snap off the top of the garlic scape where it emerges from the leaves of the garlic plant. Eat from the part you snaped to the bulbis where the flower is forming. Some farmers harvest the scape by pulling the stem straight up for the more delicate flavor of the scape. We don't harvest this way, since we have a nice rain fall until July and removing the scape that way could lead to bulb damage. Every farm is different, so try what works best for you and your farm.

Storage:
Garlic scapes store well. You can keep batches in the refrigerator for upwards of three weeks, though fresh-cut is always the best. Remove the entire stalk tip (flower) above the pod before using.
We sustainably manage our soil to ensure that we have the proper balance of nutrients and minerals to produce the healthiest GARLIC BULBS!
