Herb & Oil

Sweet basil is a tender annual herb with dark green, pointed oval leaves that may or may not be fuzzy. It bears coils or spirals of green, white, or pink flowers.

The Latin name for basil is Ocimum Basilicum.

Basil releases a fresh, sweet herbaceous scent. Steam-distilling the flowering herb produces an oil that can be either colourless, pale yellow or pale green. It has a light spicy scent, with a balsamic or camphor like undertone.
