I have a small bottle of extra virgin olive oil with chopped basil in it.
Any suggestions on how to use it?

Thanks

I went off basil some years back after endless pesto-making sessions in
the fall. Now, I use fresh, and dried, sage almost exclusively.

Top this: when I moved from a house in California to an apartment in
Chicago last August, I potted both of the basil plants growing in my
garden and brought them across the country in my car. They're now
growing on the window sill pretty happily.

Awesome. :-)
I have to replant them every year as they die back.

Do you prevent them from blooming? Basil usually only lives for one year
then you have to re-seed.

The summer before last I bought a very nice basil plant to repot in an
outdoor container. I did so and it was growing very nicely and thick
until I got myself a chihuahua puppy.The puppy ate the basil plant
down to the roots when I was not looking.

I never did get another basil plant to grow as nicely as that one had
since.

They die outside in the winter near San Francisco, although it rarely
freezes. The cold does it. With moderate amounts of warmth and light,
though, they're perennial. These plants wintered over once before I
brought them east.

I have to pinch them back constantly. Even now.
