Basil & Cayenne Pesto 135g

Fresh, fiery, and full of flavour, True Origin Basil & Cayenne Pesto is a bold twist on the classic, made in Eswatini by our fair trade supplier, Black Mamba. Crafted in small batches using fragrant basil, zesty cayenne chillies, and all-natural ingredients, this vibrant pesto brings a perfect balance of herbaceous freshness and subtle heat.

Toss it through pasta, dollop onto roasted vegetables, spread in sandwiches, or swirl into soups. This versatile pesto lifts any dish with its punchy, aromatic flavour.

Each jar supports Black Mamba’s mission to empower smallholder farmers and producers through ethical trade and environmentally responsible production – creating livelihoods, protecting biodiversity, and supporting a better future for their communities.

No Added Nonsense | Fair Trade | Crafted with Purpose
Building a better world through good food.

Fair food, fine food is the motto at True Origin. Deliciousness meets ethical trading in their search for ingredients and foodie products, which provide sustainable incomes for producers and their communities across the globe. 

So far, these purveyors of fine food have built relationships with smallholder farmers and producers in Malawi, Kenya, South Africa, Eswatini, Sri Lanka and India. True Origin (previously known as Just Trading Scotland) gives them a market here in the UK as well as support to develop their farms and communities. 

From there grows food security and prosperity, not just locally but for the wider country too. Bit by bit, this adds up to a safer and more sustainable world. The kind of change we’re very much about. 

Introduce your taste buds (or those of your foodie friends and family) to Just Trading Scotland and their producers with one of the gift sets. You could turn up the heat with the Spicy Trio Gift Set of sauces and chutney from the Kingdom of Eswatini (formerly Swaziland). Or finish off your dishes with a grind of flavour-packed salt and pepper blends, in shakers that can be refilled.

These products are just a few among the ever-growing Just Trading Scotland portfolio, which has clocked up 15 Great Taste Awards to date. That’s testament to the team’s knack for finding exceptional food and producers.
