Care

Handle basil with care and avoid stacking the containers. It’s sensitive to bruising and drying out.

Store

Don’t store basil below 10°C. Temperatures that are too low cause cold damage. The leaves develop black spots, wilt and lose their aroma.

Growing Method

Herbs are grown with great care in greenhouses, protected from wind and weather. They grow in pots or directly in the soil. Thanks to controlled conditions, the plants get just the right amount of light, warmth and water. This keeps them fresh, fragrant and full of flavour. From basil to parsley, each herb is harvested at the perfect time to ensure it’s at its best. Fresh herbs add a delicious touch to your kitchen all year round.
