Dried bay laurel leaves are very well known for their culinary use and medicinal purposes. The leaves have a characteristic fragrance when crushed and the taste is a bit bitter and aromatic.

These may look like “just” leaves, but these leaves are actually very flavourful! Like all herbs, our Bay Leaves pack a punch in a small package. With their almost minty flavour (somewhere between spearmint and menthol). Bay Leaves also have a tasty hint of black pepper. Fun fact: The best flavour for cooking is obtained from dried leaves rather than fresh.

Bay Leaves can be used to flavour both sweet and savoury dishes. Add Bay Leaves to pates, soups, stews, and casseroles. Try adding a few leaves to delicate custards served with poached peaches or apricots. (Just don’t forget to remove bay leaves before serving!) Feeling creative? Let’s make our own handmade winter wreaths, some natural foliage for your home or put your hand to some DIY potpourri with our high-quality Bay Leaves.
