California bay leaves bring bold, woodsy flavor to slow-cooked dishes, making them ideal for soups, stews, and braises, as well as pickling vegetables. Add a leaf or two to chowders and tomato-based sauces to build savory depth as they simmer. Larger and more robust than Turkish bay leaves, this California variety delivers a stronger, more pronounced aroma and taste.

About this blend



California bay leaves come from a native evergreen tree that can grow up to 80 feet tall. The tree, *Umbellularia californica*, is part of the laurel family and is also known as mountain laurel, Oregon myrtle, or pepperwood. Its leaves are prized in cooking for their bold, aromatic flavor.
How to use

Bay leaves are a classic seasoning used to enhance the flavor of many dishes, especially those that cook slowly. They add a subtle, aromatic depth to chowders, tomato-based sauces, soups, stews, and pickling brines. Whole California bay leaves should be removed at the end of cooking before serving to ensure the best texture and flavor.
