Previously one of the most common sources of basil oil across the entire flavor & fragrance industry, Basil Oil Comores Type was exclusively produced on an island chain known as the Comoros. In recent years, this oil’s quality has been supplanted by material from other regions, though the aromatic profile of Comores has endured. Comores basil oil is considered the basis of the “Methyl Chavicol” type of basil oil, retaining a spicy, savory, and herbaceous odor. In flavor, this basil oil is often added to meat sauces, pickling brines, and other condiments.
