Farm-Fresh Organic Italian Basil (Hand-Picked, 1 Bunch)

Sweet, floral, and impossibly fragrant — our farm-fresh organic Italian basil is the real thing. With its large, glossy, deep green leaves and that unmistakable warm, clove-like perfume, fresh basil has a way of making everything it touches taste more alive. A handful torn over a ripe tomato, stirred into a sauce at the last moment, or pounded into a vibrant pesto — this is the herb that defines summer cooking.

Portion size: 1 bunch.

Why you'll love it:

• Large, glossy, deep green leaves with a sweet, floral, clove-like fragrance — intensely aromatic
• Far more vibrant and complex than dried basil — there is simply no comparison
• Certified organic — grown without pesticides or synthetic inputs
• Rich in vitamin K, vitamin A, manganese, and anti-inflammatory essential oils
• Best added at the very end of cooking or used raw to preserve its delicate fragrance
• Keeps well at room temperature in a glass of water — never refrigerate fresh basil

Ways to enjoy:

• Torn over ripe heirloom tomatoes with fresh mozzarella, olive oil, and flaky salt
• Pounded with garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan, and olive oil into a classic Genovese pesto
• Stirred into pasta sauces, soups, and braises at the very last moment for a fresh, fragrant finish
• Layered into Caprese salads, bruschetta, and flatbreads for a sweet herbal note
• Blended into vinaigrettes, compound butters, and herb oils
• Muddled into cocktails, lemonades, and shrubs for a floral, aromatic lift

Tip: Store at room temperature in a glass of water like a bouquet of flowers. Refrigeration will blacken the leaves.
