Botanical Name: Laurus Nobilis
Source: Organic
Plant Part: Dried whole leaves
Origin: Australia
If eaten whole, bay leaves are pungent and have a sharp, bitter taste. The flavor of the California bay leaf is a bit more intense and bitter than the Turkish variety. As with many spices and flavorings, the fragrance of the bay leaf is more noticeable in cooked foods than the taste. When dried, the fragrance is herbal, slightly floral, and somewhat similar to oregano and thyme. Myrcene, an essential oil used in perfumery can be extracted from the bay leaf. The flavor and aroma of bay leaves owes in large part to the essential oil eugenol.
Bay Leaves are wonderful in cooking when combined with Pork, Veal, Quail, Bacon, Soups, Stocks, Onions, or Chicken
