The most flavour possible from every leaf, as our fresh herbs are all naturally grown. Fresh herbs add freshness and panache to every plate. Highest quality product available. Each package contains the maximum amount of useable product possible. Packaging designed to prolong shelf life and protect from damage. Highest standards of food safety employed on site in the form of a fully functional HACCP program so you don't have to worry about the number of growing concerns we face today.

Preparation & Cooking

The stems and leaves of the basil plant impart a subtle taste when added to cooking oil, although the leaves are what are most commonly used for everyday cuisine. Although basil does not go well with vinegar or other herbs, it blends perfectly with olive oil and lemon. Never simmer basil as its essence is highly volatile. Add it at the end of the cooking process.

Serving Suggestions

Basil is good with just about any food, especially tomato or Italian dishes. Pesto, a paste made with large amounts of basil, can easily be frozen, and is very popular with both chefs and home cooks. It is almost impossible to use too much in any dish. A clipping of fresh Basil adds a touch of class when used to garnish a dish.
