FAQs

 
How should I store the pestos?
Place pestos in the freezer immediately, if you are not planning on using them within 14 days.
How long will the pestos last in my freezer?
Frozen pestos will last up to two years.
Can I refreeze pestos after they have been fully thawed?
No. Once thawed, pestos should be eaten immediately or stored in your refrigerator for up to 14 days.
I just received my pesto order; the pestos are frozen and I would like to use a portion of each container immediately.
Because of the texture of my pestos, you may section off, a quarter or a half, of each container with a butter knife, and immediately put the unused portion of the tin, into the freezer.
Can I defrost your pestos in the microwave?
You may defrost my pestos in the microwave once they are removed from the tin, and only on the defrost setting, of the microwave, for no more than 45 seconds. You do not want to cook the pesto.
Should I toss your pestos over pasta on the stovetop?
Yes, but over very low heat; overheating will dry out the pesto.
Can you provide me with some serving suggestions?
If you click on the recipes link of www.pestoswithpanache.com, you will find one recipe for each pesto flavor; I will create a recipe archive over time. If you need specific suggestions, feel free to e-mail me directly, lauren@pestoswithpanache.com.
If I order off of your website, how will I receive my pestos?
Pestos are shipped with dry ice or frozen gel-packs sent via Federal Express.
What if my order arrives on time but the dry ice is melted?
If your order arrives on time, but the dry ice has melted, don’t be alarmed. As long as the pestos are still “refrigerator cold” to the touch, your order can be safely placed in the freezer with no impact on quality. If you are uncertain, call Pestos with Panache By Lauren, Inc. at 917-656-3082.
