Immersion in the Heart of Pesto
The event, completely free and open to everyone, is designed to be both friendly and immersive. You will discover pesto in a whole new way, thanks to a journey that reveals its secrets of creation, from basil to plate, awakening all your senses. The goal? To show that a simple jar of pesto can hold a true story of craftsmanship, heritage, and passion.
Among the highlights, tasting will of course take center stage. Locals in Nantes will have the chance to savor Barilla's range of pesto, featuring the latest creation from the brand: Pesto Basilico e Mozzarella di Bufala Campana AOP, a recipe that combines the freshness of basil with the creaminess of buffalo mozzarella, a star product of Italian gastronomy.

A Masterclass by Julien Sebbag
As the cherry (or rather, basil leaf) on top, Chef Julien Sebbag, renowned for his creativity and bold pairings, will host an exclusive masterclass.

A culinary encounter that promises delightful surprises and perfectly embodies the concept of the Basilic Bar: where Italian gastronomy meets French flavors.
