This is a high quality Genovese basil with a strong, classic flavor. It's the basil of choice for pesto and flavorful Italian dishes.
Harvest basil leaves throughout the summer. Cutting the stems will encourage new growth and a bushier plant. Before the first fall frost, harvest all the leaves to make pesto. Freeze it in ice cube trays, then transfer the blocks to a plastic ziploc bag. They can be removed from the freezer as needed to bring back a taste of summer to your cooking. Also known as Basil 'Sweet Genovese'.
