Fresh basil, all year round. That is what this oil delivers.
We co-press freshly picked basil leaves from local Turkish producers together with our Yamalak Sarisi olives using the Agrumato method. The basil is not steeped or added after pressing - it is cold pressed with the olives in a single pass, becoming a molecular part of the oil itself. The first thing you notice is the aroma - unmistakably fresh basil, like you just plucked it from the plant. Then the flavor: green, clean, and beautifully balanced. This is not a basil bomb. It is refined and calibrated to enhance without overpowering. The Yamalak Sarisi olive's silky texture carries the herb perfectly. Anywhere tomato meets cheese, this oil creates magic. Finish a caprese salad. Drizzle over a margherita pizza. Stir into pasta with cherry tomatoes and fresh mozzarella. Use it as a finishing oil to keep the basil aromatics alive. |
