Our naturally infused basil high polyphenol Sicilian olive oil is made with just two ingredients: freshly picked basil leaves and premium cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil. It has a fresh, aromatic, green basil flavour with none of the artificial flavourings found in most supermarket basil oils — just real herbs and high-quality oil.
Use it to drizzle over bruschetta, pizza, pasta, wraps, smashed avocado or eggs on toast, or mix it with one of our balsamic vinegars for an instant salad dressing or bread dip. Because it's a high polyphenol oil, you get the peppery health benefits of a genuine extra virgin alongside the basil.
The oil is produced for us by our partners, the The Di Lorenzo family y, who own the Disisa Estate in Northern Sicily, where olive trees over 100 years old grow alongside herb gardens and orchards. Basil is picked by hand, washed and dried in the Sicilian sunshine, then infused into the oil over several days of stirring and tasting. Only when the family are completely satisfied is the basil removed and the oil bottled — exclusively for The Gift of Oil.
