Badia Basil Spice, 0.75 oz

Dried basil in a pantry-size jar — the sweet, anise-leaning herb that defines Italian tomato cooking. Useful for cooks who reach for basil weekly rather than daily, and want a jar that turns over before the oils fade.

Common Uses

Marinara, pizza sauce, vodka sauce, lasagna, baked ziti, minestrone, tomato soup, focaccia and herb breads, Italian vinaigrettes, breading for chicken parmesan, and finishing sprinkle on caprese-style plates.

Cuisine Context

Italian kitchens build around basil — Neapolitan pizza margherita, Sunday gravy, Sicilian caponata, and ribollita all depend on it. Across the Mediterranean it surfaces in Provençal pistou and Greek summer salads.

Pro Tip

Bloom dried basil in warm olive oil for 30 seconds before adding garlic — the fat extracts flavor that water-based sauces alone can't pull out.
