Overview

A really punchy flavour that livens up Mediterranean recipes – use the leaves sparingly in pasta sauces and scatter them over pizzas. This Sicilian native bears a show of attractive purple flowers in summer. 

Pick leaves before the plant flowers to enjoy the very best flavour. They can be stored for up to a week in a sealed bag in the fridge. Save dried leaves and stems in an airtight container.
