Information
Basil (Dried)
Basil is often called the "king of herbs" and is an indispensable ingredient in European cuisine, especially in Mediterranean dishes. Our dried basil is carefully selected to preserve its characteristic aroma, which is a blend of sweetness, pepper, and a hint of clove. While fresh basil is wonderful, dried basil has a more concentrated and deep flavor profile that withstands heat better, making it ideal for slow cooked sauces.

No tomato sauce is complete without a pinch of basil. The herb harmonizes perfectly with garlic, tomato, and olive oil. Use it as pizza seasoning, in lasagna, in meatballs, or as a flavoring in dressings and marinades. Dried basil is also excellent to use together with oregano to create that classic "pizza flavor" we all love.
To get the most flavor out of dried basil, you can rub the herbs gently between your fingers before adding them to the food. This releases the essential oils. In hot dishes, it should be added early in the cooking process to allow time to develop flavor, unlike fresh basil which is added at the end.
