Genovese Basil is the classic Italian sweet basil, hailed as the ultimate variety for making authentic pesto. It features large, cup-shaped, tender green leaves and a powerful, sweet aroma with notes of clove and pepper. Its flavor is less anise-like than Thai basil, making it perfect for Caprese salads, margherita pizzas, and a wide range of Italian sauces. We cultivate it for its large, fragrant leaves, ensuring the highest quality for culinary use.
