Basil | Dried | Sweet | Aromatic | Herbal

Meet Dried Basil (Ocimum basilicum) — the classic Mediterranean herb that brings instant freshness, sweetness and a soft leafy aroma to your savoury creations. These vibrant, hand-crushed basil flakes capture the essence of sun-warmed gardens: sweet, herbaceous and gently floral, with a comforting green lift that brightens everything from pasta sauces to soups, pizza, vegetables and marinades.

Dried basil disperses quickly in heat, releasing layers of soft sweetness, subtle pepperiness and a mellow herbal depth. Whether you’re simmering a tomato-rich pasta sauce, seasoning slow-cooked stews, whisking dressings or topping flatbreads, this pantry staple slips effortlessly into everyday cooking — and elevates it.

Hand-packed in Wollongong, this fragrant herb has a well-earned place in your Bare Essentials, where the aromatic classics that make every kitchen smell like home live.
