Organic Sicilian Bay Leaves | Dry, 25g | Imported from Italy

Hand-harvested in spring at peak essential oil concentration, these certified organic bay leaves from Sicily's Madonie Mountains are shade-dried to lock in their full aromatic potency. A Traditional Agri-food Product (P.A.T.) of Italy, they carry the bold, complex character that only genuine mountain-grown laurel can deliver.

Unlike mass-produced bay leaves that fade quickly, these retain their depth through slow cooking — releasing layers of herbal, slightly floral bitterness that define great stocks, braises, and slow-cooked sauces.
