Basil is an aromatic plant that gives off a strong, warm aroma. As for its taste, it is minty and citrusy, giving any recipe a delicious finishing touch. We recommend adding it at the end of the cooking process so that it retains all its properties. It goes especially well with tomato sauces and it is a basic ingredient in Italian pesto. What’s more, it improves digestion and helps to fight against general discomfort. This is why it can also be enjoyed as an infusion. At Azafranes La Llave, we have both whole and ground Basil leaves.
