- Wash the basil leaves in cold water and dry them on a towel. With a marble mortar and wooden pestle pound the garlic into a paste. The garlic should not overwhelm the basil. Add some salt and grind it into the garlic paste (Donât use large grain salt). Add the basil a little at a time and with a gentle swirling motion grinding it into the garlic. You get the best taste by gently grinding the leaves. At this point add the pine nuts, a handful at a time. When the nuts are soft and incorporated start adding the cheese. Begin to add the extra virgin olive oil. It is important the flavor of the oil is light so that it doesnât overwhelm the flavor of the basil. The light olive oil of the Luguria blends perfectly with the basil mixture.
- The preparation should be done at room temperature and as quickly as possible to avoid oxidation.
