The authentic Genoese pesto is prepared at the mortar, making "squeeze" the basil leaves (only the most tender) from the coarse salt, with the help of the rotary movement of the pestle.  Then add the peeled garlic and pine nuts, you still work with a pestle and, finally, it is completed with extra virgin olive oil, parmesan and grated pecorino cheese, and everything is mixed.
