Basilico Genovese, Sweet Herb of the Ligurian Coast

Ligurian basil, protected as Basilico Genovese PDO, grows along the sun-washed coastal terraces of Liguria, where mineral-rich soils and salty Tyrrhenian breezes shape its unmistakably delicate character. The leaves are small to medium, pale green, and gently cupped, releasing a sweet, harmonious aroma with soft hints of cloves and anise. Unlike common supermarket varieties, true Ligurian basil carries no trace of mint, making it the essential, authentic foundation of pesto alla Genovese and one of Italy's most prized culinary herbs. - AsNotedIn
