I only tried Buitoni and Costco (Kirkland Signature) brands after reading reviews online where most people agree with you guys that shelved, non-refrigerated pesto is horrible. After having tried both, and now seeing this video, I have to agree with my fellow Youtube commenters. Costco was better than Buitoni. It was closer to fresh made pesto than Buitoni was. Buitoni had this weird creamy texture, a weird smell, and off-taste. Costco tasted very similar to a fresh pesto, but was a bit salty. Also, Buitoni costs $5 per 7oz (or $8 for 2 7oz containers). Costco costs $8 for 22oz (1 container).

It blows away Costco's and any other off the shelf brand.

That way I have a very adaptable ingredient with many potential uses. When I med standard pesto I just add the cheese and nuts. Thumbs up for Costco and their Italian ingredients in general.
