Basil

Grown in the rich fertile soils and dry climate of Central Queensland, Australia, our Sweet Genoese Basil is selected for its delicate balance of essential oils, giving it a rich, sweet, full flavor. Basil is one of the world’s major culinary herbs and its aromatic leaves are well known for the seasoning they bring to many dishes.

Its fresh taste is often found in Italian dishes. It is a main ingredient of pesto sauce and tastes delicious with tomatoes, garlic, and aubergines. Basil also suits shellfish and can be added to omelettes. It flavors salads, soups and sauces and is used to make flavored oils and marinades or basil vinegar. For best results, add at the very end of cooking.
