Basil Italiano Classico
£3.00
Basil Italiano Classico the classic basil from Italy. Pungent and warm – hello Italy.
The main ingredient of basil pesto stirred into pasta or gnocchi, the easiest of calming suppers, but oh so much better if you make it yourself from fresh ingredients.
A few ripped leaves with a good, fresh mozzarella and hand-picked tomatoes and a glug of olive oil and you have a plate of sunshine.
