Basil

Italian basil is a variety of sweet basil, known for its aromatic leaves and rich, slightly peppery flavor that is a key component of many Italian and Mediterranean dishes. Often recognized for its large, glossy, deep green leaves, Italian basil is a staple in cuisines around the world, particularly in pesto, pasta sauces, and as a garnish for dishes like pizza and caprese salad.

Italian basil is characterized by its robust flavor, which combines hints of pepper, mint, and anise. Unlike other types of basil, such as Thai or purple basil, Italian basil has a milder, sweeter taste that works well with a wide range of savory dishes, especially those featuring tomatoes.
