"Without fail, I always head directly to the refrigerated cheese and condiment section where I find my first choice, Kirkland Signature Imported Basil Pesto. It's incredibly delicious and for about $11 it's an absolute steal, especially considering how much it would cost you to make 22 ounces of premium pesto at home. Costco sources the basil for it's imported pesto directly from Genoa, making the herb just one of two ingredients in the sauce that have a DOP classification (Protected Designation of Origin), meaning they are authentic and the best of the best as they adhere to strict methodology and quality guidelines."
"Sticking with the Italian imports, my next grab is Citterio 18 Month Prosciutto Di Parma, sold in packs of two and totalling 12 ounces for about $16. The aged DOP treat from Parma is priced alarmingly low; but who am I to question the wisdom of Costco's business acumen? I love it for an easy and accessible snack or as an addition to sandwiches and charcuterie boards. It's also an affordable ingredient to make one of my favorite dishes, baked eggplant"
Costco shopping can be both challenging and rewarding, especially when free samples and strong deals make the trip worthwhile. A hand-written grocery list and pen help prevent buying unnecessary items. The first recommended purchase is Kirkland Signature Imported Basil Pesto, priced around $11 for about 22 ounces, with basil sourced from Genoa and protected by DOP classification for authenticity and strict quality guidelines. The next pick is Citterio 18 Month Prosciutto Di Parma, sold in two-pack portions totaling about 12 ounces for roughly $16. The aged DOP prosciutto is positioned as an easy snack and a versatile ingredient for sandwiches, charcuterie boards, and baked eggplant.
