La Tourangelle Basil Infused Oil is perfect for those moments when you want a hint of fresh basil in your dishes. We use a unique French infusion method, respecting the aromas of each herb by using a slow, low temperature maceration. This allows for delicate flavors in the oils and maintaining the properties of each herb. Grown in France by a five generation family owned-producer, the basil is cultivated with a specific focus on aromas. When the basil is at its freshest, it is naturally infused in organic expeller-pressed high-oleic sunflower oil, giving you endless cooking possibilities from salad dressing to high-heat cooking. La tourangelle basil infused oil is a timeless classic perfect for pesto, tomato/mozzarella salad, grilled chicken or fish. You can also use it simply as a dipping oil. La tourangelle infused oils are infused naturally, with no artificial chemicals or flavors, holding true to la tourangelle s chemical-free policy. La tourangelle is one of few remaining oil mills keeping a time-honored French heritage of roasting and pressing nut kernels into delicious oils. We are a family-owned company who strive to be the best artisan oil producer, dedicated to making carefully crafted, sustainable, natural products.
