Gourmet Garden Paste Basil 80g

Gourmet Garden Basil Cold Blended Paste is made with sweet basil, grown by Aussie farmers on broad-acre farms in Biloela Queensland, where with warm subtropical climate and rich soil delivers the optimum conditions for flavoursome, aromatic herbs. The basil is harvested in the early morning when their essential oils (that's the flavour, colour and aroma) are at their peak and then transported within 18 hours of harvest to our Palmwoods factory where they are washed, chopped and cold blended for fresher flavour that lasts for 4 weeks*.

Basil is best added towards the end of your cooking and is ideal in Italian cuisine like pesto, pasta, pizza, creamy sauces, dressings, soups and frittatas. In cooking use 1 tbsp of Cold Blended Paste to replace 1 tbsp of fresh basil or add according to your taste.
- Fresher flavour that lasts for 4 weeks once opened*
- In cooking use 1 tbsp of basil paste to replace 1 tbsp of fresh basil

(*Fresh for 4 weeks refers to the flavour and aroma being maintained for 4 weeks upon opening on or before the best before date.)
