Cuisines all over the world utilize Bay leaves. The incredibly intense flavor of fresh Bay Leaves tend to become enhanced when dried. Crinkle the leaves just before using them to release their full flavor into your dishes. Bay leaves give off a delicate aromatic scent while offering a mildly bitter flavor.

The Bay Leaf from California is stronger and oilier compared to those grown in other parts of the world. The most common form of Bay Leaf as an herb is the dried whole leaf. It may be crumbled into recipes or added whole for dishes such as stews.

Although rather difficult to find, ground bay leaves are convenient to use and excellent for creating your own spice blends. Here at The Seasoning House, we take pride in supplying our customers with only the fanciest fresh ground or whole Bay Leaves. Crumple a few in your palms and the sheer aroma will have you cooking up a storm in your kitchen!
