Ocimum basilicum.

A distinct basil variety prized for its unique perfume and flavour reminiscent of cinnamon. Native to Southeast Asia, this herbaceous plant is loved for its aromatic leaves and its versatility in the kitchen.

Cinnamon basil leaves are oval, bright green and carry a slight tint of red in some varieties. What sets this variety apart from other basils, however, is its enchanting aroma evoking cinnamon — with sweet, spicy, lightly sweet notes.

In the kitchen, cinnamon basil adds an interesting dimension to dishes. It can be used fresh in salads, pasta dishes, desserts, drinks and jams to bring a touch of unexpected, exotic flavour. It's particularly delicious in sweet dishes — fruits, sorbets and cakes.

This basil variety is also an excellent choice for making flavoured oils, vinegars or herbal teas. It offers a unique sensory experience thanks to its distinctive perfume.

Beyond its culinary use, cinnamon basil is sometimes grown for ornamental purposes, thanks to its attractive foliage and intoxicating perfume. It adds a touch of exoticism and originality to gardens and vegetable plots.

Cinnamon basil is a special basil variety that awakens the senses with its enchanting perfume and unforgettable flavour. Whether for cooking or for beautifying the garden, this plant offers a unique taste and olfactory experience that deserves to be discovered.
