Product Description
The Ligurian Basil from Prà is a highly prized Italian basil variety known for its tender, vibrant green leaves and delicate aroma. Cultivated for centuries in the Prà district of Genoa, this basil is renowned for its mild, sweet flavor with subtle notes of clove and citrus, making it the ideal choice for traditional Genoese pesto. The leaves are smooth and oval-shaped, growing on bushy plants that reach up to 18-24 inches in height. The Ligurian Basil is a staple in Mediterranean cuisine, bringing authentic flavor to sauces, salads, and fresh dishes.
