FAQ
Sweet basil, also known as Genovese basil, has a different flavor to Thai basil, lemon basil or holy basil. Genovese basil can be found in every Italian kitchen, especially in the summertime, and Italian nonne (grandmothers) use it regularly to lift all kinds of summer dishes. Timperio basil flavored EVOO is created through the infusion of freshly harvested basil with our Timperio Nobile EVOO.
Basil flavored EVOO does wonders as a simple pasta topping or drizzled over soups (especially tomato-based ones!). But that’s not it. You can use it in marinades, or as a dressing with fresh tomatoes, or saute just about anything in it for an added zing! Check out our recipe session for recipe inspiration.
