Marina Colonna Basil (Tulsi) Infused EVOO in an Anfora bottle

Product Info

The basil infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Marina Colonna is very special. The basil is grown on Marina Colonna's estate from seeds of the prestigious traditional variety from the Liguria region of Italy. This basil is world famous and known as the tastiest basil in the world. The leaves are crushed with the estate’s olives, which yields an EVOO with a gentle, sweet herb-y flavor.

This Basil infused EVOO is ideal for bruschetta, grilled zucchini and eggplant, or on a summer pasta with cherry tomatoes and fresh buffalo mozzarella. It is great with pasta and pesto or with fava beans and pecorino cheese. And of course, drizzled on a fresh salad, this beautiful infused EVOO highlights the ingredients. Marina also uses it when baking pies.

Most of our Marina Colonna EVOOs come beautifully packaged in a 250ml glass Anfora-shaped bottle.

Appearance: Dark Green, enriched by the basil infusion, clear and bright.

Aroma: Fresh and fragrant, with basil notes that stand out without overwhelming. Hints of green leaves, freshly cut grass, and green tomato give a harmonious and inviting aroma.

Taste: Soft and grassy: the EVOO harmoniously integrates the basil, adding a fresh, slightly peppery note that balances its roundness. The finish is clean, leaving a pleasant impression of aromatic herbs.
