Italian Basil

Bold and peppery with hints of mint and clove.

Italian Basil is the quintessential herb of Mediterranean cooking, prized for its heady aroma and assertive flavour. It provides the soul of a true Caprese salad, lifts pasta sauces with its aromatic oils, and adds a fresh herbal finish to pizzas and risottos. Beyond the classics, it can be worked into infused oils, pestos, or even desserts like panna cotta to bridge savoury and sweet. Its broad green leaves also offer strong visual appeal when layered into bruschetta or used as a garnish for antipasti platters.
