Pesto, it’s a classic Italian sauce that packs A LOT of flavor and is typically served with pasta, but is also great as a pizza topping, meatball or lasagna filling, a compliment to salads, and is awesome as a sandwich spread.
I typically make my own pesto (scratch-made is always the best), but it is also convenient to have some store-bought jars on hand for those quick meals, so during my latest weekly shop at Aldi, I picked up a couple of jars of Pesto made by Priano.

Priano is a private label brand exclusive to Aldi, and they make a full line of Italian goods such as pasta, sauces, the aforementioned pesto, and even a dry-cured prosciutto, among other great products. In grabbing a couple of jars of pesto, I went with a traditional basil and a sun-dried tomato variety.
This was my first time trying Priano Pesto. Both products are rich with robust flavor and in my humble opinion are every bit as good if not superior to other jar pesto sauces I’ve ever sampled. I may be tempted not to make my own from scratch quite as often if I keep these on hand they’re that good.
The sun-dried tomato pesto, my favorite of the two
Costing just $2.19 for a 6.7-ounce jar at Aldi, I’m giving Priano Pesto Sauces 4 out of 5 Bachelor on the Cheap Stars. They’re convenient, very reasonably priced, and tasty, worthy of being repeat buys. Compare the Aldi price to a name-brand pesto like Barilla, which starts at around $3.50 at the mainstream grocery store for a 6.5-ounce jar.
