Pesto Genoese DOC

Name: Pesto Genoese DOC
Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients: 8 bunches of Genoese basil (Normal Basil is ok but not as intense as Genoese basil has a more concentrated flavor because of the small leaves; 4 cloves of garlic; 60 grams of pine seeds (ideally italian); 75 grams grated 18 - 24 month Parmesan cheese (The older the more intense); 45 grams grated Sardinian Pecorino cheese (The older the more intense). If you can not get this use Parmesan, Asiago or Spanish Manchego in equal parts.; 12 cl of fresh tasting italian cold pressed virgin olive oil; Coarse sea salt to taste

Oh Genoa I love you. This recipe reminds me of a wonderful trip to one of my favorite cities.
