Organic Bay Leaf 5g

Steenbergs Organic Bay Leaf comes from our farming partners in Turkey and shipped from Izmir.  Organic bay is one of the most sought after culinary herbs for flavouring soups, casseroles, stews, fish, meat, poultry and marinades. Steenbergs organic bay leaves are from the countryside near to Izmir in Turkey, where the best organic bay leaves are still hand-picked, soaking in the glorious summer heat of the Mediterranean. 

While we have a couple of bay plants at home, I much prefer the taste of dried organic bay leaves as they have less bitterness and the leaves concentrate those aromatic camphorous aromas and flavours.  The bay tree is a densely foliaged, evergreen tree that can grow up to 10m (33 ft) tall.  The leaves are dark-green and shiny; they are oval in shape tapering to a sharp point.  The bay leaves are 5 - 10cm (2 - 4 inches) long.
