Basil is probably my most used and favorite spice. Whenever winter comes and all my basil is frozen I look to basil in the jar. Pasta sauce has to have basil. The jar basil does add flavor though not as well as fresh basil. But what’s a girl to do?
Basil is so good in so many dishes. Eg, pasta fish eggs even in a specialty fruit drink
I have been a loyal customer for at least 20 years, and I can't even imagine how many ounces of basil I have used during that time. Compared to other sources, which tend to be dull and lacking color, this is a beautiful bright green. I cook a lot of pasta and tomato soups, and this adds a wonderful flavor to them. When I don't have fresh basil, this is a close second.
It’s called for often in the recipes we like. I get the bag to refill my jar.
My kitchen wouldn’t function without a few essential herbs and spices and this is one of them. It has a really nice depth of flavor and you can tell that it hasn’t been sitting around for months like it may have been if you buy it at the local store. I love how much it jazzes up my everyday dishes without having to fiddle with fresh basil, which is great when I’m trying to make a quick meal.
