flowering basil -- can it get sweet again for pesto?

I'm back from 11 days out of town and my plant sitter forgot to trim the flower buds off my several very large basil plants. At least one plant has started to turn bitter. I've removed all the buds... is it possible that the bitterness will fade, or is it a lost cause? We do a big pesto operation in late August/early September and haven't gotten to it yet. I'd hate to lose my crop!
