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 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.
