Why You’ll Love This

This oil gives you the aroma of fresh basil without washing, chopping, or bruising a single leaf. It is bright and savory, turning a sliced tomato, bowl of pasta, or piece of grilled fish into a finished dish with one pour.

What Makes It Special

Ariston infuses extra virgin olive oil with basil flavor, allowing the herb to perfume the oil evenly. The olive-oil base adds fruity richness while basil provides the sweet, peppery-green character associated with summer Mediterranean cooking.

Perfect Pairings

Pair it with tomatoes, mozzarella, burrata, avocado, zucchini, eggplant, white beans, pasta, pizza, grilled chicken, salmon, shrimp, focaccia, or Parmesan.

Serving Ideas

Drizzle over Caprese salad, toss with warm pasta, finish pizza, brush onto grilled vegetables, add to vinaigrettes, or serve with bread and sea salt. It also makes an easy base for pesto-inspired marinades.
