These whole dried bay leaves have a delicate and warm aromatic aroma and come from the laurel tree.
Dried bay leaves are used in cooking for their distinctive flavour and fragrance. The leaves are not meant to be eaten although you can.
The leaves are often used to flavour soups, stews, braises and pâtés in Mediterranean cuisine to add fragrance and deepen the flavour profile. Remove the leaf when ready to serve.
