Description
McCormick Bay Leaves deliver authentic, aromatic flavor that transforms ordinary dishes into extraordinary culinary experiences. These whole, dried bay leaves are carefully selected from premium laurel trees and processed to retain their essential oils and distinctive fragrance. Bay leaves are fundamental to classic cooking, providing a subtle, complex flavor that enhances soups, stews, braises, and marinades without overpowering other ingredients. The leaves release their aromatic compounds slowly during cooking, infusing dishes with a woodsy, slightly floral taste that adds depth and sophistication. McCormick's bay leaves maintain their potency and quality through proper harvesting, drying, and packaging processes. Essential in Mediterranean, French, and Middle Eastern cuisines, bay leaves are particularly important in bouquet garni and traditional slow-cooked dishes. The 0.12-ounce package contains whole leaves that can be easily removed after cooking. These leaves have been used for centuries not only for culinary purposes but also for their potential digestive benefits. McCormick ensures consistent quality and freshness, making these bay leaves a reliable choice for both home cooks and professional chefs.
Suggested Use
Add 1-2 whole bay leaves to soups, stews, or braised dishes during cooking. Remove leaves before serving as they remain tough and inedible. For marinades, crush leaves slightly to release more flavor. Use in slow-cooking recipes for best flavor development. Store in airtight container.
