Description
McCormick Basil Leaves deliver the authentic taste of Mediterranean cuisine with premium dried sweet basil harvested at peak flavor. These carefully selected basil leaves are gently dried using McCormick's proprietary process to preserve essential oils and maintain vibrant green color. A cornerstone of Italian cooking, this aromatic herb adds fresh, slightly peppery notes with hints of mint and anise. McCormick's commitment to quality ensures each bottle contains only the finest basil leaves, free from stems and foreign matter. Perfect for pasta sauces, pizza, caprese salads, and herb-crusted meats. The convenient bottle size provides long-lasting freshness while the flip-top cap allows for easy measuring and sprinkling. This versatile herb complements tomato-based dishes, enhances marinades, and elevates simple olive oil for bread dipping. Trusted by professional chefs for over a century, McCormick basil maintains consistent flavor profile and aromatic intensity. The leaves can be crumbled between fingers to release maximum fragrance or used whole for garnishing and slow-cooked dishes.
Suggested Use
Add 1-2 teaspoons to sauces, soups, and marinades during last few minutes of cooking to preserve flavor. Crush leaves between fingers before adding to release essential oils. For salads and cold dishes, add just before serving. Store in cool, dry place with lid tightly closed.
