Movies with a Touch of Basil. The unmistakable smell of risotto bianco and a minty, peppery kick as the ultra-fresh basil warms on the dish. Film director extraordinaire Federico Fellini wanted to show life in all its glorious reality – people eating, sleeping and making love – and was known to request extra servings of this herb, rumored to be an aphrodisiac.
Founder Jan Vilhelm Ahlgren’s inspiration: “A basil so pure that you can imagine having picked it from the garden and smelling it on your hands”.
Why we’re addicted: An exceedingly fresh, green exhilarating scent with mesmerizing qualities.
