Basil, Aroma (organic)

Ocimum basilicum (Basil, Aroma (organic))
Ocimum basilicum

This sweet variety is very similar to Genovese Basil but has greater defenses against fusarium wilt. It has the classic basil appearance, with glossy, dark green, 3" long leaves and the same delicious aroma, however it is slightly shorter with smaller leaves. Organically grown.

Use Aroma Basil in salads, vegetable dishes, in pesto and Italian sauces.
