WHY BASIL OIL FROM LAKE GARDA
The use of basil to flavour extra virgin olive oil has deep roots in the Mediterranean culinary tradition, a heritage that Esveal continues on the shores of Lake Garda. Unlike industrial basil oils, which often rely on dried herbs or artificial aromas, our infusion uses organically grown fresh basil leaves harvested at their aromatic peak, when the concentration of essential oils in the leaves is at its highest.
The cold infusion process preserves the natural polyphenols of the base olive oil while allowing the volatile aromatic compounds of basil — primarily linalool and eugenol — to transfer gently into the oil without the use of heat or solvents. The result is a product that is simultaneously a condiment and a culinary tool: a few drops are enough to transform a simple bruschetta, a caprese salad, or a plate of pasta into an intense sensory experience.
Both the base oil and the basil used carry organic certification. Every batch is produced in small quantities at our farm in Contrada Ceola, Bardolino, ensuring consistent quality and full traceability from raw ingredient to finished bottle.
