Packaged in a practical resealable jar and sold in a carton of 2 pieces, it is designed for the Swiss food service sector.
What freeze-dried basil is
Freeze-drying is a cold dehydration process that removes water from fresh basil while keeping its organoleptic properties intact. Unlike traditional hot drying, freeze-drying preserves the bright green colour, the fresh aroma and most of the volatile compounds responsible for the typical fragrance of basil. The result is light, crisp leaves that, on contact with the liquids in a dish, release a flavour close to that of freshly picked herb.

Uses in the kitchen
Freeze-dried basil is extremely versatile and lends itself to many preparations in Italian and international cuisine. It is perfect for flavouring tomato sauces, sauces, pizzas, focaccias, risottos, pasta and meat or fish dishes. It can also be used for pestos, salad dressings, marinades, flavoured oils and soups. Thanks to the concentration of the aroma, a small amount is enough to flavour an entire preparation.
Rehydration and dosage
For maximum aroma, it is advisable to rehydrate the freeze-dried basil with a little warm water or to add it directly to dishes that already contain a liquid part, such as sauces and soups. Preferably add it towards the end of cooking to preserve the freshness of the fragrance. As a rough guide, one teaspoon of freeze-dried basil is equivalent to a generous portion of fresh basil: start with small amounts and adjust to taste.
Storage
Store the jar in a cool, dry place, away from heat sources, direct light and humidity. Reseal the lid well after each use to protect the aroma and extend the shelf life of the product. When stored correctly, freeze-dried basil keeps its organoleptic qualities much longer than the fresh herb, reducing waste in the kitchen.
