Description

Ocimum basilicum 'Napoletano', also known as Napoletano or Bolloso Napoletano basil, is a distinctive Italian heirloom variety renowned for its large, crinkled, lettuce-like leaves and robust sweet flavor. Originating from Naples, Italy, this cultivar is prized in Mediterranean cuisine, particularly for dishes like Caprese salad and pesto. Its substantial, wrinkled leaves not only offer a unique texture but also emit a strong, sweet aroma with subtle notes of clove and mint. The plant is slow to bolt, allowing for an extended harvest period, and thrives in full sun with well-drained soil. While specific awards or breeder information are not documented, 'Napoletano' basil remains a favorite among gardeners and chefs for its exceptional culinary qualities.

Large, crinkled, lettuce-like leaves that can grow up to 4 inches long.
Strong, sweet aroma with hints of clove and mint.
Slow to bolt, providing a longer harvesting window.
