Organic basil | rubbed | 1-5 mm

What it is / Product description

Biova organic basil brings the typical aroma of Mediterranean cuisine into your professional production in a practical, rubbed form. The finely chopped green leaves from controlled organic cultivation in Egypt offer a spicy-fresh, slightly sweet herb profile.

Gentle drying and careful cleaning largely preserve the characteristic aroma and flavour profile. The fine / flaky grain size of around 1–5 mm ensures homogeneous distribution in the final product and precise dosing, even in automated processes.

In pasta sauces, tomato dishes, pestos, dressings or Mediterranean spice blends, the rubbed basil can be used in many different ways. The structurally stable, well-swelling bulk goods from Biova are suitable both for dry blends such as herb salts and convenience products and for fresh delicatessen products.

Origin

The basil comes from Egypt, where warm temperatures and plenty of sunshine promote an intense herb aroma. Open cultivation areas and established organic farms ensure consistent quality of the raw material.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

The plants are cultivated according to organic guidelines without synthetic pesticides. After harvesting, the leaves are gently dried, separated from the stems and rubbed so that a defined grain size of around 1–5 mm with a fine / flaky structure is obtained.

Special features

Characteristic are the green colour, the good swelling capacity and the rapid release of aroma in liquid and semi-solid applications. As bulk goods in kilogram units, this organic spice is specially designed for large-scale consumers, delicatessen manufacturers and spice producers who require reproducible results.

Differences in origin and processing

Egyptian basil develops a pronounced, sun-kissed aroma thanks to the abundant sunshine, which distinguishes it from Central European produce. The rubbed processing with defined grain size facilitates dosing, ensures a uniform appearance and supports efficient processing in blends and convenience recipes.

Taste & aroma

The organic basil has an aromatic, spicy and slightly sweet scent with a fresh herbal note. In terms of taste, it is full and rounded without being overly hot or bitter, and when swelling in liquids it unfolds its aroma particularly well in tomato-based dishes and Mediterranean compositions.

Possible applications

• Seasoning pasta, tomato and vegetable dishes in gastronomy and catering
