Description
Louis Francois Basil Chops are dehydrated pieces of basil designed to bring concentrated basil flavour and visible herb character to pastry, chocolate, frozen desserts and savoury preparations. They can be incorporated directly without a separate infusion step, making them especially practical for professional production where consistency, storage and ease of use are important.
Applications
- Ice cream and gelato
- Chocolate and ganache
- Yogurt and dairy preparations
- Cookies and baked goods
- Infusions and beverages
- Compound butters, sauces and savoury preparations
Use
Incorporate directly into the preparation according to the desired flavour intensity. Basil Chops can also be infused where a smoother finished texture is preferred, but direct incorporation allows the herb pieces to remain visible in the finished product.
