Seggiano Organic Semi Fresh Basil 18g does not declare any of the 14 major allergens in its ingredients list. As recipes can change, always check the label before serving to anyone with allergies.

Why does my olive oil go cloudy?

Cloudiness is completely natural and happens when olive oil is stored at cool temperatures. It does not affect the quality or flavour at all, and the oil will return to clear once it warms back to room temperature.

What does a good extra virgin olive oil taste like?

A quality extra virgin olive oil should taste fresh and fruity, often with notes of grass, herbs or green apple, followed by a gentle bitterness and a peppery kick at the back of the throat. That peppery finish is a sign of healthy polyphenol content.

How long does olive oil last once opened?

For the best flavour, use your olive oil within a few months of opening. Keep the cap tightly closed and store it away from heat, light and air, the three things that cause olive oil to deteriorate fastest.

Is olive oil suitable for frying?

Yes, contrary to the old myth. Extra virgin olive oil is one of the most stable oils when heated thanks to its high antioxidant content, and its smoke point comfortably covers everyday frying and roasting temperatures.

What is the difference between extra virgin and regular olive oil?

Extra virgin olive oil is the highest grade, made purely by cold-pressing olives without heat or chemicals, which preserves its flavour, aroma and natural antioxidants. Regular or refined olive oil is processed further, giving a milder taste but fewer of the beneficial compounds found in extra virgin oils like Organic Semi Fresh Basil 18g.
