Red Rubin Basil

Deep purple leaves with a bold, pungent profile.

Red Rubin Basil is as much about visual appeal as flavour, with its dramatic burgundy-purple leaves that stand out on the plate. Its stronger, spicier profile than Genova Basil complements rich tomato sauces, hearty stews, and roasted vegetable dishes. Chefs often use it for garnishes where colour contrast is essential, or to create striking pestos, oils, and infused vinegars. It works well in modern plating where vibrancy and flavour intensity need to meet in equal measure.
