For food flavouring. Add to your favourite Italian dishes for a refreshing, herbal taste. Where a savoury dish requires dry basil, swap the herb for Basil essential oil for more flavour. Use Basil oil in salads, soups, and to season meats or savoury dishes with an earthy, herby flavour. Add a drop of Basil oil into vinaigrettes and sauces; drizzle over freshly baked bread or to complete an entrée.
