Our Fresh Bay Leaves come from the Bay Laurel tree and are a cornerstone of classic European cuisine. They have a powerful, sharp, and herbaceous aroma with hints of eucalyptus and clove. Their flavor is more subtle and complex than when dried. They are an essential component of a "bouquet garni," used to perfume stocks, soups, stews, and braises. The leaves are almost always removed before serving. We supply fresh, glossy green leaves for a superior aromatic infusion.
