About: | Bay laurel leaves, also known as “Laurus nobilis L.”, are leaves taken from plants to use in cooking, for their unique flavor. The leaves are used fresh or dried, however, it is often said that the full flavor comes out months after drying the leaf. Laurel leaves are typically used in soups, stews and braises, however, the leaves are generally removed before cooking has finished and all flavor has been released into the food. |
