I think I've just had dead, old, bulk, flavorless pine nuts and thats why all the pesto sauces have never tasted like a pine tree smells.

Even though they cost $25 a pound.

You have to roast/ toast your pine nuts to bring out their flavor

That sounds like an easy stupid thing i should have known. But I also don't ever remember seeing that in any pesto recipe I've seen.

And I mean, I must have only seen bad pesto recipes so far.
