Plant Description
Basil Oil (Methyl Chavicol (also known as Estragole) is distilled from the botanical Ocimum basilicum L. The plant is typically grown and harvested for its leaves, which are popular around the world in many food dishes. There are a number of chemotypes available in this family and this variety is high in Methyl Chavicol (also known as Estragole), which can typically be around 85% of the component mixture. Estragole is used in perfumes and as a food additive for flavour. Estragole is often isolated and converted to anethole using potassium hydroxide.

Sweet Basil originates from Vietnam only. The plant is an annual hairy herb growing up to 1 meter (3 feet). The flowers range from white to pink, depending on the species and attract swarms of bees in summertime. Basilicum comes from the Greek word ‘Basilicos’ meaning ‘king’ or ‘royal’.
