"Basil is not just an aromatic herb with an unmistakable fragrance; it is a plant that carries a fascinating history and a name with a noble meaning."

Derived from the Greek basilikon phyton, meaning “royal plant,” its name reflects the importance that ancient civilizations attributed to it, both in culinary and sacred contexts.

Some traditions associate it with the production of perfumes for royalty, while others highlight its role in spiritual rituals in ancient India. In France, it is known as herbe royale, further confirming its status as a precious and indispensable herb in the kitchen.

And that’s not all: according to medieval legends, basil was considered an antidote against the basilisk, the fearsome mythological creature with deadly venom. But its value goes beyond the kitchen.

Basil is a natural source of antioxidants, essential oils, and active compounds with extraordinary health benefits. Its extracts, rich in bioactive compounds, are widely used today in the cosmetic and nutraceutical industries for their purifying, soothing, and revitalizing properties.

A plant with a regal past, ready to meet the needs of modern well-being. The species Ocimum basilicum has been and continues to be used worldwide in medical, culinary, and religious contexts.
