How long would you keep this in the fridge? Can any of it be frozen?
Hi Alyssa
Thanks for your question. If you keep the pesto covered with a layer of olive oil, it should last a week or so in the fridge. If you freeze the pesto it will discolour, but should still be fine for adding to a sauce or something that will hide it.
Warm regards
