I've just recently tried out pesto that I froze last summer, and it was still perfect=)

It freezes perfectly. Some people say to leave out the cheese if you're going to freeze it, and add it after it's thawed as the freezing apparently affects the texture of the cheese. But I've never noticed any problem.

Great thanks everyone going to freeze in small containers. First time making pesto (parsley pesto) so delicious.

Brilliant idea - why didn't I think of that!=) I do that with lemon juice when lemons are abundant, and with tomato paste that's left over when I open a tin of it.Never thought about the pesto though.

When I make pesto and I freeze it, I add little more oil than normal and then put the pesto in containers.The pesto then can be scooped out with a dessertspoon.Chunks of pesto are delicious eaten frozen.

You could invent pesto ice cream :)
