Bay Leaves 20g
A cornerstone of culinary traditions worldwide, our Whole Dried Bay Leaves are carefully selected for their robust aroma and complex, earthy flavour.
These fragrant leaves are the secret to building deep, savoury foundations in stocks, stews, and sauces. Bay leaves are a foundational element used to build layers of flavour in long-simmering dishes.
They are famously used in:
Stocks & Broths: The essential starting point for a clear, aromatic chicken, beef, or vegetable stock.
Hearty Stews & Casseroles: Adds depth to your favourite winter warmer, like a classic beef stew or lamb casserole.
Sauces & Braises: Infuses tomato-based pasta sauces, ragus, and braised meats with a complex background note.
Pickling & Poaching: A key component in pickling brines and court-bouillons for poaching fish and seafood. Rice & Grains: Tuck a single leaf into the pot when cooking rice, quinoa, or lentils for a subtle, fragrant upgrade.
Important Note: Bay leaves are used to impart flavour during cooking but are not meant to be eaten. Always remember to remove them before serving your dish.
Storage: For maximum potency, store in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place. Your bay leaves will retain their flavour for up to a year.
Ingredients: 100% Dried Bay Leaves (Laurus nobilis).

★★★★★Bay LeavesI was surprised at the size of the packet. Very good value indeed. They arrived in perfect condition and the packet was as pictured. The only thing that I'm not happy about is that I had to get them delivered to a friend's address because the courier company used by Spice n Easy terms my address as rural when it's actually urban. If Spice n Easy were flexible and used NZ Post, I wouldn't have had a problem.
