These certified Organic Bay Leaves are typically used to season long-cooking dishes like braises, soups, and stews, but can also be added to quicker-cooking dishes such as pasta sauces or rice. Organic Bay Leaves can be used whole or crumbled before adding during the cooking process.
Dried bay leaves have a more pleasant, sweeter taste than fresh and the flavor becomes more intense the longer it cooks. We've looked at numerous bay leaf suppliers and found our current supplier's Organic Bay Leaves to be far superior, not only in color and flavor, but in having more whole leaves.
These Organic Bay Leaves are considered true Bay Leaves and should not be confused with California Bay Leaves, Umbellularia californica, which come from a different plant entirely and while their leaves have a similar flavor to true Bay Leaves, they are even more pungent.
Depending on the time of year and availability these may come from India or Turkey.

We will source our product so as to provide you with freshest product possible.
