Summer herb in the spotlight: basil

One herb, a thousand and one applications

Herbs are the finishing touch to  any dish. When frozen fresh,  it’s all about the advantages.  The proof? We performed a  comparison with the summer  herb of choice: basil! 

Basil might be the most versatile herb in your kitchen. It’s a base for timeless classics like pesto and salad caprese, but it’s just as much the star of a surprising cheese spread or even as a cream with an Italian dish. Basil is indispensable in Mediterranean cuisine: whether in pasta sauces, as a topping for pizzas, in salads or in tomato-based dishes. Did you know that even basil ice cream is a real winner? Surprising, right?
