Profile

This summer basil offers a milder flavor than California basil, with gentle herbal sweetness and subtle anise notes. Its lighter profile makes it especially versatile in fresh, seasonal dishes. Pairs well with chives, garlic, mint, and thyme.

About this blend

European basil, once called the “royal herb” by the ancient Greeks, is a summer herb from the mint family. Compared to California basil, it offers a milder flavor with subtle anise notes. This classic variety is widely used in Mediterranean cooking, where its delicate aroma complements sauces, vegetables, and grilled dishes.

How to use

European basil leaves add a classic aromatic flavor to tomato-based sauces and many Mediterranean dishes. Use basil to season poultry, seafood, pasta, and pizza for a fresh herbal taste. When substituting dried basil for fresh basil in recipes, use **one-third of the amount**, since dried herbs are more concentrated in flavor.
