The values of the product and its PDO are a powerful communication tool for a food brand.

Genoese Basil DOP evokes and represents the best of the Ligurian region and its entire agricultural tradition.

The Consortium for the Protection of Genoese Basil DOP has created and made available this video clip: a light-hearted story to proudly express the value of Genoese Basil DOP as a characterising ingredient.
Genoese basil cultivation began in Genoa in the 19th century and quickly spread along the Ligurian coast, which proved ideal for producing a product with unique characteristics. Genoese basil DOP is a cornerstone of Liguria's gastronomic tradition.
Genoese Basil DOP is grown along the coastal coast of Liguria: the close connection between the territory and the product's characteristics is due to its microclimate and, above all, to the traditional cultivation on natural soil.
The production regulations include unique cultivation, harvesting, and packaging methods developed over time by local farmers: these are the methods that ensure the typical characteristics of Genoese Basil DOP, both for fresh consumption and for the food industry.
Genoese Basil with the “DOP” certification of origin offers certainty of origin and 100% transparency from producer to consumer, thanks to a traceability system verified by official controls.
The aroma of Genoese Basil DOP is immediately recognizable for its intensity and pleasantness, and is distinguished by the complete absence of the minty hint found in conventional basil. Its aroma has played a key role in the success of Genoese pesto worldwide and is therefore the ingredient that best expresses its uniqueness and tradition. It is also an ideal product for creative recipes and evocative experiments with an intoxicating flavor.
