About Mammolo

(Ocimum basilicum). A classic Italian Genovese basil, Mammolo has been bred to have an exceptionally high leaf-to-stem ratio and a compact growth habit. The short internodes mean that plants are super bushy, free of undesirable leggy stems and rangy habit. Leaves are large with a classic Italian basil aroma and flavor, without the minty smell and flavor that some experience with Italian basil. This variety is respected by large-scale growers in Italy, who need a uniform, vigorous basil with gold-standard flavor to please the discerning local palate for basil. A market grower's favorite and a must-have for those growing in pots.
