Genovese Basil is renowned worldwide, especially for pesto, with the best coming from western Genoa, Italy. It features round, dark green leaves with a matte finish, and a more concentrated, less sweet flavor compared to Common Basil. Genovese Basil is highly valued in Genoa, where it has even received DOP (Protected Designation of Origin) status from the Italian Government.
