Basil from Vouprasio, a fertile agricultural area in western Greece near the Ionian Sea, is known for its intense aroma, bright green leaves, and robust flavor. Grown in the nutrient-rich soils and mild Mediterranean climate of Ilia, this basil variety thrives under traditional cultivation practices, often passed down through generations of local farmers. The result is a high-quality herb prized both for its culinary versatility—enhancing everything from tomato-based dishes to fresh salads—and for its use in herbal remedies. Vouprasio basil is especially noted for its sweet, peppery scent and vibrant freshness, making it a favorite among regional cooks and gourmet producers.
