Bay leaves are the aromatic, oval-shaped leaves of the Bay Laurel tree, prized for their warm, pungent aroma and subtly bitter, complex flavour. Used in kitchens across the world—from European stews to Indian curries—they add depth and fragrance to slow-cooked dishes, soups, and sauces.

Our premium bay leaves are sourced from the lush regions of Turkey, renowned for producing some of the world’s most aromatic and flavourful leaves. We also proudly stock Australian-grown bay leaves, offering a local touch with a fresh, vibrant character that celebrates the best of both worlds.

Description How to Use Ingredients Shipping and Returns

Bay leaves have been a cornerstone of fine cooking since ancient times, prized for their subtle, aromatic depth. With their delicate notes of eucalyptus, clove, and spice, they gently infuse soups, stews, sauces, and braises with a layered, sophisticated flavour. Slow simmering releases their fragrance gradually, transforming everyday dishes into something rich and memorable.


Soups & Stews:
Add a few leaves while simmering broths, soups, or stews to infuse a deep, aromatic flavour—then remove before serving.

Curries & Rice Dishes:
Use in Indian curries, biryanis, or pilafs for subtle warmth and complexity.

Slow-Cooked Meats & Braises:
Include in marinades, braised meats, or casseroles for a layered, savoury depth.

Tomato Sauces & Stocks:
Simmer with tomato-based sauces, stocks, or gravies to balance acidity and enhance aroma.

Pickling & Preserving:
Add to pickling brines or marinades to lend a fragrant, slightly spicy undertone.

Infused Oils & Creams:
Steep in cream, milk, or olive oil to impart gentle herbal notes to sauces or desserts.
