European Basil

European dried basil has a mild, sweet herbal aroma with light anise notes. The flavor is softer than California basil, making it easy to use in larger amounts without overpowering a dish. It blends smoothly into tomato sauces, soups, and baked dishes and holds its flavor through cooking. This basil is well suited to everyday Mediterranean-style cooking.
