Notes | Mammolo Basil Type: Classic Italian Basil Key Strengths: Compact & Bushy: Exhibits a tidy, compact growth habit with a high leaf-to-stem ratio, making it ideal for containers and small spaces. Large, Flavorful Leaves: Produces substantial leaves with the traditional, sweet Italian basil aroma and taste, without the minty notes some other Italian basils can have. High Yield Potential: Despite its size, it's bred for exceptional leaf production. Uniform Growth: Known for its consistent and vigorous growth, appealing to both home gardeners and commercial growers. Excellent for Pesto: Its intense, sweet flavor is particularly well-suited for making traditional pesto. What Makes It Special: Mammolo basil stands out for its combination of a manageable, compact size and the ability to produce a large quantity of full-flavored, classic Italian basil leaves. Unlike some larger or more sprawling varieties, Mammolo maintains a neat form while still delivering that authentic sweet basil taste perfect for Italian dishes, especially pesto. Its high leaf-to-stem ratio means more usable leaves and less waste. |
