Pesto, Pizza & Pure Magic! Pesto Princess & Col’Cacchio Cook Up a Dream Collab
Something delicious is coming out of the oven! Two South African food icons—Pesto Princess and Col’Cacchio—have teamed up to create a pizza that’s as fresh as it is fabulous. To celebrate 25 years of Pesto Princess, founder Kathleen Quillinan joined forces with Kinga Baranowska, founder and Group CEO of Col’Cacchio, to craft a limited-edition Pesto & Cherry Tomato Pizza.
Why is this a match made in foodie heaven? Col’Cacchio has been featuring Pesto Princess products on their menu for over two decades, so when it came time to celebrate a milestone, collaborating on a pizza was a no-brainer. Now, their signature basil pesto takes center stage on a wood-fired pizza available at SPAR stores in the Western Cape.
“We’ve been using Pesto Princess products for years, and it was exciting to finally team up with Kathleen on a pizza that truly showcases the quality and freshness of her Basil Pesto,” says Kinga.
Kathleen shares the excitement: “Our focus has always been on fresh, local ingredients and preservative-free products. This collaboration with Col’Cacchio is a perfect way to highlight our shared passion for quality and innovation.”
With a combined 700 employees, these two female-led businesses have shaped the local food scene, staying true to their roots and values. Now, they’re inviting South Africans to join the celebration—one bite at a time.
Grab the limited-edition Col’Cacchio Pesto & Cherry Tomato Pizza at SPAR while it’s hot, and explore the full Pesto Princess range at SPAR, Pick n Pay, Checkers, and Food Lover’s Market. Want to go big? Chefs can get their hands on bulk pesto through www.pesto.co.za.
