Excellent !!! Very good Good so so Not good

Observations

The bottle: you can use an olive oil bottle and simply add the ingredients directly. They are not filled to the brim, so you can add ingredients without removing any oil.

The basil: Avoid washing the basil with water; it is better to clean it with a brush so it doesn't lose its flavors.
