A leaf, a fragrance, a final gesture — basil is the last touch on a Margherita, and perhaps the most important.
Native to India, it reached the Mediterranean as a sacred plant and found its ideal home in Italy.
Today its scent unites and harmonizes, closing the sensory circle between tomato and mozzarella.
It should be added fresh, right after baking, when the pizza is still warm and the oil embraces its essence.
A small act of balance, almost a bow to simplicity.
