    It wasn’t as bad as some of the reviews had me scared it would be. I may grab it in a pinch but it’s definitely not my go to. To be fair- I used it on breakfast sandwiches and not as a sauce for noodles.

    I am horrified that anyone would use cashews in pesto. Why oh why? The hunk of people who have cashew allergies (which are severe!) and never expect to have to screen pesto ingredients.

    Rao’s failed us. After being blown away by their marinara, I added this to my cart with much excitement. But, WOW, was I disappointed. It’s gross, honestly. It almost tasted minty to me, and a bit sour. I’d recommend avoiding this.
