Basil Olive Oil

Delicious! A sweet, herby olive oil delicately infused with basil picked when leaves are at their juiciest. These two flavours are a perfect match made in heaven and taste great in lots of recipes.

Ideal for seasoning a tomato and mozzarella salad, goat’s cheese, pan-fried red mullet or in a gazpacho. A few drops in a bowl of strawberries or on vanilla ice cream will give these desserts a new lease of life.

Our basil oil goes well with balsamic vinegar of Modena, sherry vinegar or pepper and Espelette chilli vinegar.

At A l’Olivier, we use a unique technique that allows us to extract all the aromatic compounds of a plant directly into the oil without degrading its quality. Similar to the enfleurage technique used in perfumery, our method of making flavoured oils (also referred to as aromatic oils) allows us to combine the best olive oils with the best plants and aromatics, creating a uniquely flavourful result.
