President's Choice Basil Pesto

President's Choice Pesto is a premium condiment that is part of the iconic Canadian private label brand. This specific product is manufactured in Italy, adhering to traditional recipes to provide an authentic flavor profile. The label explicitly states "Product of Italy," indicating that the manufacturing and sourcing of the primary ingredients occur within Italian borders before being imported for the Canadian market.

Founded in 1984 by Loblaw Companies Limited, the President's Choice brand was created to offer high-quality alternatives to national brands. Over the decades, it has become one of Canada's most trusted food brands. Today, the brand remains under the ultimate ownership of George Weston Limited, a massive Canadian public company that controls the retail and food processing sectors through its various subsidiaries. The product is distributed by Loblaws Inc., headquartered in Brampton, Ontario.
