Badia Organic Basil Leaves, 0.75 oz
Organic dried basil leaves — the herb that defines Italian cooking. Gently dried to hold the sweet, slightly anise aroma that fresh basil brings, in a form that survives long simmers and dough-baking heat where fresh leaves would blacken and fade.
Common Uses Stir into marinara, pizza sauce, and slow-cooked Bolognese. Fold into meatball mixes and ricotta for stuffed shells or lasagna. Sprinkle over Margherita pizza before baking, into focaccia dough with olive oil, and across Caprese-style roasted tomatoes. Use in minestrone, pasta e fagioli, and Mediterranean vinaigrettes with oregano and garlic.
Cuisine Context A pantry constant in Italian and broader Mediterranean kitchens — from Ligurian pesto-adjacent preparations to Greek tomato stews and Provençal herb blends. Where fresh basil is a finishing herb, dried basil is a building herb: added early so its oils infuse the sauce.
Pro Tip Rub the leaves between your palms before adding them to the pot. The friction cracks the dried cell walls and releases the essential oils, waking up the aroma in a way that pouring straight from the jar never quite does.
