I know this isn't a pesto thing... but reading the ingredients and then seeing you mention olives brought on a craving.
MAN... I wish I had myself a good ole N'awlins Central Grocery Muffaletta.
Oh man... that sure would hit the spot about now.

Re: Basil Pesto: who makes it?
Every time I see this thread I think, "and what other type of pesto is there?" I know a lot of people now call a lot of things pesto, BUT being the traditionalist I am the only way to make pesto is with BASIL.

So who is into making their own Pesto? I just made about two lbs.
Here is how I make it.
1 -Gallon of washed basil leaves
1 -cup olive oil
1 -large bulb of pressed garlic (6 cloves)
1 -cup of fresh finely grated parmesan cheese
1 -heaping teaspoon salt
The ingredients should all be put in a blender and pureed together (except the cheese) Then the cheese is stired in by spoon.
Serving Suggestions
Use as a pizza base directly on the crust
Eat as a side with any meal
And my favorites...
Serve on fresh baked bread (toasted)
Take a wheat Triscut put a scoop of whipped cream cheese then a scoop of pesto on top... yummy!
Here is a question I have....
My basil is doing exceptionally well this year. Has anyone ever frozen or canned or otherwise preserved pesto?

I bought some once for our bible study group and put it on crackers too.

Re: Basil Pesto: who makes it?
We love Pesto here. I make several different types. Our favorite is Basil Pesto. My recipe is very similar to Bro. Hoover's, however I use pine nuts in mine. I also like to use toasted almonds in the place of the pine nuts, and a little Romano cheese with the Parmesan cheese.
Basil Pesto
2 cups of firmly packed basil leaves
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts or toasted almonds
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese or 1/4 Parmesan and 1/4 Romano
1 clove of garlic
In a blender, process basil, garlic,the nuts, cheese and 1/4 of the olive oil until smooth. Add additional oil in small amounts, if necessary to make a smooth paste.
We like this one on Bruschetta. It's also good on top of grilled chicken.
We also like Spinach Pesto. When I make the Spinach Pesto, I like to use toasted walnuts in it.
Spinach Pesto w/ Lemon
4 cups fresh Spinach leaves, rinsed and patted dry
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 cup toasted walnuts
1 clove of garlic
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
3/4 teaspoon grated lemon peel
salt and pepper (optional)
Blend spinach, cheese, walnuts and garlic in food processor until coarsely chopped. Add lemon peel and gradually add olive oil in a steady stream until smooth.
I like to serve this one with pasta and cherry tomatoes.
