Authentic Organic Bay Leaves for Your Roast
The true Bay tree is an evergreen with a broad, conical crown and upward growing branches. The flowers have a sweet fragrance, and the leaves have a strong, spicy aroma, which is why bay leaves are used as a spice.
Turkey is a major exporter of bay leaves. Only bay leaves that grow in the cooler mountainous regions have flavor.
True Bay should not be confused with Cherry Laurel (Prunus laurocerasus), which is also evergreen like Bay but belongs to a different plant family, the Rose family.
Bay leaves are an ancient and indispensable flavor in the kitchen. In the classic bouquet garni (herb bundle), bay leaf is essential alongside thyme and parsley – the rest is a matter of taste. Adds flavor to boiled meat and fish, enhances soups and pâtés, in marinades and pickling solutions, and in traditional slow-cooked dishes. Use them when grilling fish or meat for a delightful spicy aroma and taste. Drop a leaf in the water when cooking rice, beans, and lentils.
