Basilic

CULINARY SPECIALTY BASED ON OLIVES AND BASIL LEAVES

Our BASILIC olive oil comes from olives and basil leaves, crushed and extracted together. The basil harvested in July - August is stripped by hand then frozen, so that it retains its aromas until the olive harvest in November and December. The frozen basil leaf loaves are fed into the crusher at the same time as the olives. The paste thus obtained is then kneaded then centrifuged and filtered in order to remove all traces of humidity. The secret of the very strong scent of this oil lies essentially in the very large quantity of basil used!
