      Hi, sharonmarie. I’m from Italy and I’ve always frozen my homemade pesto, so yes, you can definitely do that :) I use small glass jars with a screw lid, when I feel like pesto, I simply take hem out of the freezer theday before. Sometimes if i’m in a haste, I unscrew the lid and pop the jar in the microwave to defrost for a couple of minutes.
