Micro Basil Mix Details

Micro Basil Mix is more than just a combination of fresh basil varieties, it's a culinary game-changer! The mix features three dynamic basil types: Micro Basil Italian, with its bold, classic flavor; Micro Basil Lemon, which offers a zesty citrus lift that’s perfect for brightening dishes; and Micro Basil Opal, which boasts vibrant purple leaves and mint and clove flavor. Together, they create a flavor symphony that enhances both savory and sweet creations.

Apart from its flavor profile, Micro Basil Mix adds striking visual appeal to any dish with its vivid green and purple hues. It’s perfect for garnishing pasta, pizzas, or even desserts like sorbet or fruit tarts, transforming your creations into works of edible art.
