Freshness

Chefs and mixologists slap their basil to release its sweet freshness. It pairs perfectly with tomato and garlic but also with gin and vodka. This dried version of Sweet Basil has many benefits, among them that you don't have to slap it.

Details

In recent years, domestic basil has become regarded as superior to the imported French variety. This is in part due to the drying process used in California – thanks to their technique, the fresh, sweet basil flavor and the vivid green color is maintained beautifully. Stored properly in a dark, dry area, these large leafy flakes will maintain their strong flavor and freshness for months. Ingedients: Sweet basil.

California Sweet Basil

I only buy this from spice house. Have to use it in many Italian home recipes. Cannot find elsewhere.

Not just for Italian

Spice House California Basil is one of the herbs I use in my Beef & Cider Stew, Buttermilk Chicken & Cream Gravy, and Shepherds Pie. I exclusively recommend Spice House herbs in my "Delicious Family Favorites: modern homestyle cooking".

Beautiful packaging to refill my glass jar

Almost as good as fresh! Doesn’t take much to develop flavor.
