Organic Basil Infused EVOO

Basil Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Basil is the soul of Italian cooking. No other herb so completely defines an entire culinary tradition — from the simplest caprese salad to a slow simmered Sunday sauce, from a perfectly blistered Neapolitan pizza to a classic Ligurian pesto, basil is the ingredient that makes Italian food taste unmistakably, irreducibly Italian. This early cold pressed EVOO captures that iconic herb at its brightest and most alive — bold, fresh, and herbaceous in a way that tastes like summer basil picked at the peak of its season and preserved in its most perfect form.

Unlike our Tuscan Herb EVOO which weaves basil together with a full Italian herb garden, this oil lets basil speak entirely for itself — pure, focused, and unaccompanied. It is the oil for dedicated basil lovers, for recipes where basil is the defining flavor rather than one voice in a chorus, and for any cook who wants the clean, bright character of fresh basil available in a single effortless drizzle at any time of year.

Bold enough to be the star of a dish. Refined enough to never overwhelm it.

Use it anywhere basil belongs — which in Italian cooking is almost everywhere:

• Caprese salad — fresh mozzarella, heirloom tomatoes, and a generous drizzle
• Fresh pasta tossed with parmesan and cracked Tellicherry Pepper
• Homemade pizza — brush over the crust before and after baking
• Bruschetta — drizzle over fresh tomatoes and toasted bread
• Marinara and tomato based pasta sauces — stir in at the finish
• Pesto — use as the oil base for an extraordinary result
• Grilled or roasted chicken with tomatoes and fresh mozzarella
• Minestrone and Italian vegetable soups
• Roasted vegetables — zucchini, eggplant, and tomatoes especially
• Bread dipping alongside our 18-Year Aged Traditional Balsamic

Try this: Layer sliced heirloom tomatoes and fresh buffalo mozzarella on our Olive Wood Cheese Board, drizzle generously with this oil, finish with a splash of our 25-Year Dennisimo Balsamic, a pinch of our Pink Himalayan Salt, and a crack of Tellicherry Pepper. The most perfect caprese salad you have ever served — and one of the most beautiful things you will ever put on a table.

Choosing between Basil and Tuscan Herb EVOO: Both oils celebrate basil but serve distinctly different purposes. Our Basil EVOO is pure and focused — reach for it when basil is the star of the dish, when a recipe specifically calls for basil, or when you want clean herbaceous flavor without additional herb complexity. Our Tuscan Herb EVOO weaves basil together with oregano, rosemary, thyme, marjoram, garlic, and sun dried tomato — reach for it when you want the full Italian herb garden and maximum versatility across every dish. Basil lovers will want both.

Balsamic pairings: Our 18-Year Aged Traditional Balsamic is the classic companion — sweet, complex, and deeply figgy against the bright basil in a combination that defines Italian flavors at their finest. Our 25-Year Dennisimo Balsamic elevates every pairing to something genuinely luxurious — the deepest, most complex balsamic we carry meeting the brightest, most vibrant herb oil in our collection. Our Fig Balsamic adds a beautiful natural fruit sweetness that makes this pairing extraordinary over fresh cheese and bruschetta.

Pure basil. Nothing else. For the recipes and the cooks that demand exactly that.

All of our oils are early cold pressed extra virgin olive oil — harvested and pressed at peak ripeness for maximum flavor and nutritional value.
