Keene Organics 

Thanks for all the wonderful feedback on the garlic scape pesto sold at the Northside Farmer's Market.  We especially love the customer who called our pesto "heavenly"!  We think so, and we reeze enough to last all year. 

We have been selling 8oz. of Garlic Scape Pesto for $6.50 and have been selling out every week!  We sell it frozen and it should stay frozen until ready to use.  Then just thaw slightly.  Take out what you need and refreeze. 

We have a Commercial State Licensed Kitchen on our farm.  We have been using our garlic scapes from our gourmet garlic and other local or high quality products to make this delicious pesto. 

Garlic Scape Pesto is made from garlic scapes (which are only available in June of every year), parmesan cheese, olive oil, lime juice, pepper and salt.  The garlic scapes gives it a green earthy flavor with that garlic punch and mixed with the cheese and olive oil makes any dish wonderful.

With all the enthusiasm, we wanted to repeat all the ways we use garlic scape pesto.

Toss with Pasta

Mix 2T with cream cheese for a cracker spread

Wisk in Olive oil with 1t of mustard for vinaigrette.

Mix 1t in Olive oil and dip fresh bread into

Mix 1t in Olive Oil and spread on French bread to make garlic bread

Mix 1T into spaghetti sauce for more flavoring

Put pesto into large cooked pasta shells, pour spaghetti sauce over shells, add Mozzarella cheese, and bake.

As you can see a little goes a long way.  It's a great way to bring wonderful flavor to so make dishes.
