Basil Cress
All the fragrance of basil in a fine baby leaf.
Basil Cress is a young basil shoot harvested at the first-leaf stage. It concentrates the aroma of basil in a delicate format, ideal for plating. It has the particularity of withstanding light heat without losing its fragrance. It keeps in a cool place but not in the cold, as basil dislikes low temperatures.
