BATIK SELASIH 

     Selasih (Ocimum basilicumalso) is a culinary herb of the family Lamiaceae (mints). The generic term "basil" refers to the variety also known as Sweet Basil or Genovese Basil including Sweet basil, Thai basil in Asia. The name "Basil" comes from the Latin basilius, and the Greek believed to have used Basil in production of Royal perfumes. Basil is likewise sometimes referred to in French as "l'herbe royale" ('the royal herb. The Latin name has been confused with basilisk, as it was supposed to be an antidote to the basilisk's venom.  

     Basil leaves are richly green and ovate, but otherwise come in a wide variety of sizes and shapes depending on cultivar^. A tender plant and is most commonly used Mediterranean basil cultivars are "Genovese", "Purple Ruffles", "Mammoth", "Cinnamon", "Lemon", "Globe", and "African Blue". Basil is one of the main ingredients in pesto, an Italian sauce with olive oil and basil as its primary ingredients. Many national cuisines use fresh or dried basils in soups and other foods, such as to thicken soups. Basil is commonly steeped in cream or milk to create flavor in ice cream or truffles. Lemon basil has a strong lemony smell and flavor due to the presence of citral. It is widely used in Asia, where it is called “Kemangin” and served raw as an accompaniment to meat or fish^. 

     Batik Selasih is made from a single Batik Brass. To define this perennial,  herbaceous plant as a motif, we have included a thick, central taproot. Its flowers are small and grow from central inflorescence or spike that emerges from the central stem atop the plant. Symbolic and elegant, that’s our Batik Selasih, our second motif from the Penawar 2023 Batik Collection!
