Description

Garden-fresh basil, year-round. Our basil oil captures Italian sweet basil at peak freshness – infused into Gentile EVOO to preserve that bright, herbaceous aroma that fades so quickly in fresh leaves. Not the licorice-heavy Thai basil or the minty Greek varieties. This is Genovese sweet basil: aromatic, slightly peppery, with floral undertones that make you think of summer even in winter.

Why infused basil works: Fresh basil oxidizes within hours of cutting – those beautiful leaves turn black and lose aromatics almost immediately. By infusing basil essence into oil, we lock in the volatile compounds that give basil its character. The result is consistent basil flavor whenever you need it, without the wilted-herb disappointment.

How to use it: Always as a finishing oil (heat destroys delicate herb aromatics). Perfect for: caprese salad, tomato dishes, mozzarella, pasta with fresh tomatoes, grilled vegetables, white pizza, bruschetta. Some customers use it as a pesto substitute when fresh basil is expensive or out of season. The 250ml bottle lasts months; the 100ml is perfect for testing.

Storage note: Basil aromatics fade faster than chili or lemon. Best consumed within 8 months of opening for peak herbal brightness. Store in a cool, dark place with cap tightly sealed between uses.
