Faithful to its Mediterranean heritage, SAVCORP basil is grown 100% naturally in Egypt before being dried, chopped and packaged for maximum freshness.
USES: Basil is one of many herbs whose flavor changes when dried. The drying process gives basil a greater essential oil content than fresh herb and makes its flavor more pronounced when cooked. Basil is most easily associated with dishes high in tomatoes, such as some pasta sauces, soups and stews, and with Italian cuisine, in which it is a staple ingredient. Yet a touch of dried basil can add a delicious touch to a wide range of dishes, especially if added towards the end of cooking, bringing out the fullest expression of its flavor. It pairs exceptionally well with oregano and in dishes where the less robust flavor of the fresh herb would be lost among other ingredients, such as roasted meats, poultry, fish and vegetables, or sauces and simmered dishes.
RESEALABLE AND HERMETIC BAGS: Our stand-up bags are designed to keep our Basil as fresh on the last day as it is on the first. These bulk bags are resealable, sturdy and perfect for easy storage and access. For best results, store in a cool, dry place.
