A herb which smells of summer!
Basil serves as the basis for Italian pesto and pistou provençal with olive oil, garlic, cheese and pine nuts.
Surprising! There are over 150 varieties of basil: green, red or purple, Thai, etc.
Like with all herbs, you should not cook basil, instead add it chopped up at the last moment, so its aromas aren't destroyed. Discover its Mediterranean scent in our delicious pesti!
