Basil, California

This sweet California basil is widely considered the best dried basil available mostly due to the advanced dehydration process. We carry two varieties: California and imported European. Basil is native to Asia where it has been cultivated for over 3,000 years.

A man taking basil from a woman will always love her.

The flavor of basil combines best with tomatoes and garlic, which is the start of a great sauce. It also works well with cilantro, marjoram, oregano and most other green herbs. Basil is great in pasta, with any fish, in omelets and sausages.

“Received my order of Urfa and Aleppo chilies recently and had to let you know that these are the freshest chilies I have purchased since being in Istanbul a few years ago. Believe me when I need replenishment I will go only to Savory Spice Shop. Thanks for the quality.”
