*Es una salsa t\u00edpica de la regi\u00f3 de Lig\u00faria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*La palabra Pesto prov\u00e9 del genov\u00e8s “Pestare” = matxacar amb morter. Cosa que ens d\u00f3na una idea de com es preparava al principi: a cop de morter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*La\u00a0salsa\u00a0Pesto\u00a0\u00e9s una salsa mundialment coneguda que compta amb infinitat de variacions. Per\u00f2 la salsa\u00a0Pesto\u00a0original, la que s’elabora a It\u00e0lia compta amb tan sols 7 ingredients: all, pinyons, alf\u00e0brega, oli d’oliva, sal i dos formatges; parmigiano Reggiano i Pecorino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L’alf\u00e0brega\u00a0va arribar a Sic\u00edlia procedent de l’\u00cdndia, on es plantava al voltant dels temples. D’all\u00ed va viatjar per la ruta de les esp\u00e8cies fins a arribar a Sic\u00edlia, i despr\u00e9s es va estendre cap a Lig\u00faria. Es una planta mil\u00b7len\u00e0ria que en l’antiguitat es considerava diab\u00f2lica. Perqu\u00e8?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Doncs\u00a0perqu\u00e8 a l’Antiga\u00a0Roma pensaven que l’alf\u00e0brega\u00a0despertava les passions, motiu pel qual va arribar a pensar-se que era\u00a0sat\u00e0nica\u00a0i que atreia el\u00a0mal d’ull. Per aquest motiu la van tatxar de sat\u00e0nica, per prevenir i censurar aquestes propietats afrodis\u00edaques que se li atribu\u00efen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Es\u00a0diu que la Salsa\u00a0Pesto\u00a0t\u00e9 el seu origen a G\u00e8nova, on els antics romans feien una pasta anomenada “moretum”\u00a0a base de formatge, herbes i all. Amb el temps se li va afegir l’alf\u00e0brega, molt abundant a la zona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Explica\u00a0una llegenda que la salsa\u00a0Pesto\u00a0va n\u00e9ixer en un convent de G\u00e8nova, a les altures de\u00a0Pr\u00e0. All\u00ed hi vivia un jove frare anomenat Sant Basilio, qui s’encarregava de recollir l’arom\u00e0tica herba que en aquelles altures creixia, l’alf\u00e0brega. En honor a ell, els vilatans la van batejar “basilium”. Segons la llegenda, Sant Basilio picava l’alf\u00e0brega que recol\u00b7lectava i la barrejava amb altres ingredients que els fidels li portaven al convent. Aix\u00ed va n\u00e9ixer el\u00a0primer Pesto\u00a0alla\u00a0Genovese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*A\u00a0causa de l’enorme tr\u00e0nsit de vaixells que entraven i sortien del port de G\u00e8nova, la salsa\u00a0Pesto\u00a0es va expandir r\u00e0pidament per tota It\u00e0lia, i despr\u00e9s, a la resta del m\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Sabies\u00a0que des de 2007 se celebra a G\u00e8nova el Campionat Mundial de\u00a0Pesto\u00a0“al\u00a0mortaio”\u00a0(al morter)? Aquesta curiosa competici\u00f3 compta amb nombrosos participants de tot el m\u00f3n que preparen el\u00a0Pesto\u00a0tradicional \u00fanicament utilitzant ingredients originals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
