History of Company

Born as the college project of Alexander Palermo in 1992, Divine Pasta set out to create hand crafted pastas and sauces made only from the best ingredients. While his original intentions were to distribute these products to the finest restaurants around town, he quickly adapted to provide his food directly to you via Cube, a café and marketplace serving to both showcase his retail gourmet product while provide a testing ground for new concepts.

History of Product

Pestos are generally an amalgamation of a few key players: a little basil for the base, pine nuts for the grainy crunch, olive oil lends the liquidity and the cheese is the there to round out the edges. This Pesto swaps the basil for artichoke hearts, and drops a dash of lemon juicy for a light acidity. In order to properly balance the earthiness of the artichoke we swap pine nuts for Walnuts (which are generally a bit more robust on the nutty flavor front).

A great pesto to spread on crostini, use lightly on linguine with fresh favas.
