Basil
Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Basil is an incredibly perfumed and fragrant herb. His delicate leaves that have a distinctive aromatic flavor are used mainly in Mediterranean cuisine. It has impressive nutritional and healthy features like antibacterial and antioxidant properties. Moreover, it is an excellent source of magnesium, an essential mineral with important relaxing properties for muscles, and for blood vessels as well, it can sustain the blood flow and decrease the arrhythmias risk.

For this reason, the Basil Extra Virgin La Marronaia Olive Oil was born. This is what happens when our best extra virgin olive oil, made with 100% Tuscan olives and produced exclusively with traditional methods, meet carefully selected Basil from our hinterland.
