This basil oil is dark green, with a full, slightly tart, peppery flavour and notes of cinnamon and incense. A dream with tomatoes, asparagus, carrots and courgettes, pasta dishes, antipasti, fish and fresh cheese.
The Safranoleum spice and oil mill produces spice oils using the cold pressing method (first pressing). The spice is pressed together with ripe sunflower seeds and is not filtered afterwards. The result is a dense, intense oil, a kind of liquid spice. A few drops are enough to flavour dishes or to refine desserts (e.g. vanilla ice cream).
Once opened, the spice oil should be used within two to three months.
