Milder and more delicate than our California variety, European basil brings a subtler anise note that lets other flavors share the stage. It's the right choice when you want basil's fragrance without it dominating ‚ blending beautifully with chives, garlic, mint, and thyme. Excellent over tomatoes, corn, mozzarella, pasta, and fresh-style dishes.
