L'Olivier A Olive Oil Infused with Basil, 8.3-Ounce Tins (Pack of 2)

I used to buy this basil olive oil in the L'Olivier shop in Grand Central Terminal, but sadly it has closed. So my only source is online, and I find Amazon to be the best way for me to buy it. I love it with all kinds of recipes-- almost anything you would use regular olive oil for; including a little bit in egg salad which is fantastic. This as far as I can tell is the same product that was sold in the shop in GCT. The quality is very good, it is fresh and the taste is excellent.

Was dining in London at a posh hotel. This basil infused oil was on the table for dipping crusty pieces of home baked breads. The taste was so delicate and delicious that it made the rest of the meal so much more enjoyable. I took a picture of the can (BTW it's teeny 8oz) with the hopes that I could order through one of the gourmet sites. But low and behold by chance checked Amazon and there by golly it was. Have been purchasing since late 2011. A little goes a long way given that the oil is more of an accent flavor with a variety of foods rather than meant for cooking/frying etc. Product is made in France so it is an import but so worth it. You won't be disappointed. The oil is extra virgin and the basil flavor is not overpowering or invasive but just enough to enhance the taste buds. Totally Delicious and worth the cost.

Thus olive oil is soooo good. You can really taste the basil in it. Yummy!

I love basil, and often grow it. So I certainly know & enjoy its taste when I have just picked the leaves. That is the taste I get when I use this oil. I have used numerous basil oils and never have any been quite this good.The basil taste is fresh, strong and delicious. In addition, the packaging is lightfast, (which protects the flavor)and the pour-spout is easy to use. I will certainly buy this again.

We bought a tin of this near it's origin on a vacation to the south of France. We loved it so much and once we ran out were disappointed that we couldn't find this brand again. We tried a variety of other "Basil Infused" olive oils from various gourmet grocers and were always let down. Once you've had the best, nothing else compares, and in this case we are convinced that THIS is the best. Thank goodness amazon carries it! Kinda expensive, but it's insanely good.
