Pesto is believed to have two ancient predecessors, dating back to the Roman era. The ancient Romans consumed a similar paste known as momentum, which was made by combining garlic, salt, cheese, herbs, olive oil, vinegar, and (occasionally) pine nuts.
The Appendix Vergiliana, a collection of ancient poems in which the author describes the preparation of momentum, mentions the use of this paste in Roman cuisine.
During the Middle Ages, a famous sauce in the cuisine of Genoa was Cagliari, which consisted primarily of garlic and walnuts, as garlic was a staple in the diet of the Ligurians, particularly the seafarers.
Basil, the primary ingredient of modern pesto, was not introduced until the mid-19th century when gastronomist Giovanni Battista Ratto published his cookbook La Cucina Genovese in 1863.
