A familiar herb, made worthy of a permanent place in the kitchen.

Basil brings an unmistakable sweetness and green aromatic lift to the simplest food. It belongs with ripe tomatoes and olive oil, folded through pasta, scattered over vegetables, stirred into soups, or used to finish eggs and roast chicken. This is the sort of ingredient reached for without thinking—and precisely the sort of ingredient that deserves to be beautifully kept.

The Vessel

The basil is presented in Lello’s dark violet apothecary glass: compact, weighty and intentionally handsome enough to remain beside the stove. The Lello flourish and the word BASIL are etched directly into the glass in the natural tone created by the etching process. There is no metallic ink, foil or paper label on the face of the vessel.

At the Table

Especially beautiful with tomatoes, pasta, vegetables, eggs, soups, mozzarella, chicken and olive oil.

Made to be used. Made to be refilled. Made to be kept.

01

Selective light management

Violet glass is designed to reduce exposure to much of the visible spectrum while admitting limited violet/UV-A and infrared wavelengths.

02

Inert, nonporous glass

Glass does not absorb the aroma, color or oils of the contents, making it especially suited to a vessel intended for repeated refilling.

03

Permanent precision etching

The Lello monogram and wording are etched into the surface itself—never applied as vinyl, printed ink or gold foil—so the mark cannot peel away.

04

Designed for a longer life

The object remains after the first fill is finished. Clean it, dry it completely and replenish only the ingredient or wash inside.

The science, stated without exaggeration.

Dark-violet glass can help limit light exposure, one factor in protecting sensitive contents. It does not replace ingredient-specific storage, refrigeration or use-by guidance. Hand-wash the vessel and closure, avoid abrasive cleaners and sudden temperature changes, and allow every component to dry fully before refilling. Explore the complete Lello collection →
