THE ONE & ONLY

Andrew Mesuraca, co-owner and founder of Basil & Prime, has been in the food industry for over 30 years! Before starting his venture with Basil & Prime, he was the owner of Dix Hills Meats. To this day, customers still come all the way from Dix Hills to do business with him, right here in Albertson; now that's what we call loyalty & dedication!
