Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant reaches a height of up to 60 cm and forms large, green, oval-shaped leaves. Eugenol and methyl eugenol predominate in the essential oil composition, which determines the specific strong aroma without a minty shade.

The growing period ranges from 60 to 90 days. The variety is a benchmark for preparing pesto sauce and for fresh use, for example, in Caprese salad. The variety was formed as a result of many years of folk selection in the Liguria region and belongs to the sweet basil group.
