Serving Suggestions & Cooking Instructions

Preparation: This is a premium finishing oil. To preserve the volatile, “bright herbaceous notes” of the organic basil, do not use for high-heat frying or long cooking.

Method: Drizzle the oil over your dish immediately before serving. The heat from the food will gently release the basil aroma without degrading the delicate quality of the cold-extracted organic olives.

The Finishing Touch: This oil is the perfect partner for a Classic Caprese. Drizzle generously over slices of buffalo mozzarella and heritage tomatoes to intensify the basil profile.

Pasta & Risotto: Instead of butter, use a tablespoon of this oil to finish a simple spaghetti pomodoro or a lemon risotto. It adds a silky texture and a fresh, summery fragrance that cuts through the starch.

Bread & Antipasti: Serve in a shallow bowl with a pinch of sea salt for dipping warm, crusty ciabatta or focaccia. It also makes a wonderful dressing for roasted Mediterranean vegetables like aubergines and courgettes.

Soup Garnishing: Swirl a teaspoon over a bowl of steaming minestrone or a chilled gazpacho just before it hits the table to add a layer of organic, peppery depth.
