Product that respects the highest quality standards (Global G.A.P.) and it is used in canning industries to produce pesto sauce, other sauces, marinades, spreads, etc.
Orti dei Berici’s basil is an Italian product grown in our soils in the countryside of Vicenza, near our manufacturing plant.
From sowing to treatment process, the whole production cycle respects the highest quality standards (Global G.A.P.) which keep the consumers of all our products safe.
The harvest of basil takes place from June to September and needs to be done very quickly in order to preserve the greatest fragrance and freshness of the products. In order to avoid a premature withering due to sun and temperature, the harvest is done at night.
Then, the products are selected, cleaned and washed in water, and they are ready to be treated.
The basil paste, once treated, is put in 20/200/600/1000 kg aseptic food bags.
The products are preserved inside refrigerating rooms at the temperature of 0/+4 °C and have a shelf life of 3 – 4 months from delivery.
The basil is minced in order to produce a kind of purée (adding oil and salt) which is used in canning industries to produce pesto sauce, other sauces, marinades, spreads, etc. Upon clients’ request, other specific ingredients can be added to the basic mixture made of minced basil leaves (2-5 mm or 5-7 mm). Our Basil is available in both a cold-processed version and a hot processed-version, according to the client’s needs and uses.
