Fresh, green and herbal. Basil and olive oil are two integral ingredients in Mediterranean cooking and it was just obvious to us that the two would be wonderful together.Try it on a summer salad or caprese salad and let your taste buds travel to the shores of the Mediterranean.Mix with our Peach White Balsamic, Strawberry Balsamic, or Lemongrass Mint White Balsamic for an outstanding vinaigrette made for a spinach salad.
