The name Pesto is the contracted past participle of the Genoese word pestâ (Italian: pestare), which means to pound, to crush, in reference to the original method of preparation of the sauce, made with marble mortar and wooden pestle. It takes origin from the ancient Romans' Moretum, a sauce made by crushing cheese, garlic and herbs together.
