Basil: The Aromatic Maestro

Basil, also known as the “King of Herbs,” is an aromatic herb with vibrant green leaves and a sweet, slightly peppery flavour. Its distinctive aroma carries hints of clove and citrus, making it a favourite in Mediterranean and Italian cuisines. Basil comes in various varieties, each with its unique flavour profile and we specialise in Sweet Aroma 2. Fresh basil leaves are often used raw, torn or chopped, to preserve their delicate flavour. Commonly found in pesto sauces, salads, and as a garnish on pizzas and pasta dishes, its aromatic essence also enhances the flavour of soups and stews.
