McCormick Basil Leaves 22oz 623g

McCormick Basil Leaves come in a generous bulk, gallon-size container ideal for home cooks who use basil often, as well as commercial kitchens and food service. This is classic sweet basil, carefully dried to preserve its natural aroma, color, and flavor.

Basil has long been known as the “king of herbs,” a name rooted in the Greek word basileus. It has a natural affinity for tomatoes and is essential in Italian cooking, especially tomato-based sauces, pasta dishes, pizza, and marinara. Basil is also excellent in chicken cacciatore, soups, stews, and Mediterranean seafood dishes, and works well in marinades for meat, fish, and vegetables.

Dried basil leaves have a grayish-green color with a warm, slightly sweet aroma and subtle notes reminiscent of clove and anise. While fresh basil is delicate, dried basil holds up well during cooking, making it ideal for sauces and slow-simmered dishes where flavor needs time to develop.

Basil blends exceptionally well with oregano, parsley, rosemary, thyme, sage, and saffron. For best results, rub the dried leaves lightly between your fingers before adding them to release the aromatic oils.

This bulk container is convenient for frequent use and easy measuring, making it a reliable pantry staple for everyday cooking.
