Basil Olive Oil

Description

It is fresh, green, and herbal. Basil and olive oil are two integral ingredients in Mediterranean cooking and it was just obvious to us that the two would be wonderful together. Try it on a summer salad or caprice and let your taste buds travel to the shores of the Mediterranean.

*Pairs with Sicilian lemon, honey ginger, and traditional balsamic.
