This aromatic herb, emblematic of Mediterranean cuisine, is characterised by its large, bright green leaves and its deep fragrance with peppery and slightly lemony notes. Carefully selected by Le Delas for its optimal freshness and intense aroma, this basil brings an essential visual and flavour profile to culinary creations that demand a distinct aroma and a polished presentation.
Culinary uses, preparation and storage:
► Culinary applications: A central ingredient in Italian cuisine for making authentic pestos, it also enhances tomato-based sauces, flavoured oils and gourmet pizza toppings. ► Pairings and presentation: Its whole or finely chopped leaves pair perfectly with summer salads, vegetable tartares and beef carpaccios, adding a touch of colour and texture to dishes. ► Preparation: To retain the full intensity of its aroma and prevent the leaves from oxidising, it is advisable to tear the leaves by hand or chop them just before serving. ► Storage: As this product is sensitive to extreme cold, it should be stored in a temperate area or at the top of a positive-temperature cold room, away from excessive humidity to preserve its texture.
