Basil Crushed
Ocimum basilicum L.
Egyptian Basil is recognized across Europe as the premier standard for sweet, fragrant culinary herbs. Grown along the fertile banks of the Nile, our Ocimum basilicum features a high linalool volatile profile devoid of harsh camphor tones. We process raw leaves through multi-deck vibratory sieves and aspirators to deliver clean, intensely aromatic crushed flakes tailored to European spice blenders.
Industrial Applications:
Italian & Mediterranean culinary seasoning, industrial pesto manufacturing, pasta sauces, canned soups, spice rubs, herbal infusions.
