Details
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.
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.
