Rubbed Basil
Ab CHF 10.–
100% pure ingredients, no additives
Mixed and processed by hand
A genuine Swiss manufactory
Rubbed Basil brings a warm, herby, gently sweet-peppery aroma into your kitchen – denser and rounder than fresh leaves. The coarsely rubbed tips keep their structure and fragrance and are ideal for tomato sauces, pasta, pizza, bakes or Mediterranean vegetable dishes. A versatile everyday seasoning with clear, warm herb notes.
Category: Spice blend
Taste: warm and herby, gently sweet, finely peppery
Use: pasta & tomato sauces, pizza, vegetables, bakes
Format: 16 g jar / 200 g stand-up pouch
My tip: Always add basil only just before serving – that way the aroma stays lively and loses none of its essential oils.
Origin & Story
Basil is one of the most important culinary herbs of the Mediterranean. Used rubbed, it is especially suited to warm dishes where freshness and flavour are wanted even without fresh leaves. The dried form brings a concentrated, gently sweet-peppery aroma to many classics – from tomato sauce to a Caprese variation.
Highlights
The leaves are gently dried right after harvest and coarsely rubbed. This largely preserves the leaf structure, colour and essential oils. The aroma is intense, warm and distinctly herbier than finely cut supermarket goods. Processing is single-batch at Manufaktur Funke. The exact leaf selection remains my secret.
Quality
The basil comes from controlled cultivation in Egypt. Only fresh, green leaves are used – no stems, no discolouration, processed in small batches.
No additives, no technical aids, no anti-caking agents.
The best spices have always inspired me to create new dishes. Only the best is good enough to reach the very top – for you, in your kitchen.
100% natural. Just the way I use it myself, every day.
Tip from Tobias Funke
Rubbed basil works wonderfully in warm sauces or gratins. I add it, for example, to a tomato-olive sauce with buffalo mozzarella – for a Caprese variation from the pan.
