After years of comparing the different Basil varieties, I’ve found this to be Simply the Best variety of Basil for its wonderful oil content, fragrance and flavor. The authentic, classic Italian flavor of this Basil is a must for your pesto and any recipe calling for Basil. The 3 inch long, dark green, aromatic Basil leaves are great in fresh salads or use fresh or dried to add flavor to stews, soups, vegetable dishes and vinegars, add to butter for a delicious spread. Basil has other uses and makes a wonderful tea or summer cooler and Basil’s essential oil is used in aromatherapy.
Plant this Classic Italian Basil in the garden or keep in this container for Simply the Best Basil you will ever add to your favorite Italian dish. Harvest often to encourage bushiness and it will continue growing vigorously all season. Remove flowers as they appear for best leaf flavor and vigor.
