Williams-Sonoma Turkish Bay Leaves

Harvested from the Mediterranean bay laurel tree, our Turkish bay leaves are much milder and have a more complex flavor than their domestic cousins. Use them to add a delicately sweet astringency to your favorite dishes. Just one or two leaves will enhance a large roast or pot of homemade soup. Also called 'sweet bay leaves', these leaves grow wild on the hilly mountains of western Turkey in the area around Izmir (Smyrna). The aromatic leaves have a subtle, complex flavor with a delicate, tangy sweetness. Use this flavorful herb to season roast poultry, pork or beef. Add bay leaves to your favorite marinades, sauces, soups and stews. You can also add the fragrant leaves to cooking water for potatoes or noodles to give a hint of herbal flavor. This premium, all-natural herb is sourced from around the world and expertly blended by a family-owned artisanal spice company in California's Napa Valley. 0.19 oz. Made in the USA of imported ingredients.
