Description

  1. Origin & Appearance: Genovese basil, originating from Italy, stands out with its large, glossy green leaves. Unlike other basil types, its leaves are rounded, flat, and can reach up to 2-3 inches in length, making it instantly recognizable in gardens or markets.
  2. Flavor Profile: This variety boasts a distinct flavor combination of anise, clove, and mint, and emits a strong, peppery aroma. Its robust taste is a staple in traditional Italian dishes, especially pesto.
  3. Growing Conditions: Genovese basil thrives in full sun, requiring 6-8 hours of sunlight daily. It prefers well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH . Consistent moisture without waterlogging ensures optimal growth.
  4. Harvesting Tips: Regular harvesting of the top leaves or pinching them off promotes continuous growth and prevents the plant from flowering, which can affect flavor. For best taste, harvest leaves during the morning hours.
  5. Culinary Uses & Storage: Beyond its famed use in pesto, Genovese basil elevates salads, sandwiches, and various pasta dishes. While fresh leaves can be refrigerated for short-term storage, longer preservation methods include freezing, or creating pesto and infused oils.
