This exquisite oil elevates everything from pasta and pizza to roasted vegetables and grilled meats. It’s a chef’s favorite for its bold, herbaceous taste and versatility.

What Is Organic Basil Olive Oil?

Organic Basil Olive Oil is created by infusing certified organic extra virgin olive oil with fresh basil. This oil captures the unmistakable fragrance and flavor of basil and blends it with the richness of cold-pressed EVOO, resulting in a product that’s both fragrant and flavorful. No artificial additives or flavorings are used in the infusion process, guaranteeing authenticity and purity.

The Infusion Process

• Only certified organic basil and olive oil are used.
• Fresh basil is gently macerated and infused with EVOO for two weeks.
• The oil is carefully filtered to remove solids while preserving the basil essence.

Health Benefits of Organic Basil Olive Oil

Both basil and olive oil are celebrated for their nutritional benefits. Extra virgin olive oil is high in monounsaturated fats, antioxidants like polyphenols, and vitamin E, all of which promote heart health, reduce inflammation, and support brain function. Basil contributes to digestion, has antibacterial properties, and offers a natural dose of vitamins A, C, and K.

This fusion delivers the benefits of both superfoods. The healthy fats in the olive oil help your body absorb the fat-soluble nutrients in basil, making this oil not only delicious but also nourishing.

Tips for Cooking with Basil Olive Oil

Low Heat Cooking Only

Organic Basil Olive Oil is best used for finishing or low-heat cooking. High temperatures can reduce the intensity of the basil flavor. Use it for sautéing, salad dressings, or as a final drizzle on hot dishes.

Pair With Acidic Ingredients

Pairing the oil with tomatoes, citrus, or vinegar creates a balanced flavor profile that brings out the best in both the oil and the accompanying dish.

Storage Tips

Store in a dark, cool place, ideally in a dark-colored glass bottle to protect it from light. Always close the lid tightly after use to preserve freshness. Organic Basil Olive Oil is best used within 12 months of opening.
