The first thing to do to make basil in salt, the old grandmother’s method, is to take the basil leaves from the plant , being careful to take only the perfectly healthy ones,  and then wash them  well, delicately but not to ruin them too much. Alternatively, you can also immerse them in a bowl with cold water and ice.

Now after washing the leaves you will have to put them in a colander and  dry them delicately with the help of a sheet of absorbent paper . It will be enough to dab delicately. At this point, after you have sterilized the glass jar, you are ready to start preparing the basil in salt.

Once you arrive, pour a little olive oil and close the jar of basil in salt that you have just created. At this point, before using the cravings inside, let it rest for about a week in a dimly lit place.
