BAY LAUREL LEAF

Turkish Laurel Bay Leaves (Laurus Nobilis)

The Most Distinctive Bay Leaf Variety in the World

Turkish Laurel Bay Leaves (Laurus nobilis) are recognized as one of the most unique bay leaf varieties globally, offering a distinct aroma, flavor, and color unmatched by other laurel leaves of different origins.

These leaves are oval-shaped, ranging from 1 to 4 inches in length, and are known for their soft texture and refined, gentle flavor. They are widely used in culinary practices as a natural spice.

Compared to the California variety—which has a longer leaf, bright green color, and a slightly astringent taste—dried Turkish bay leaves offer a stronger, more complex natural aroma.

A good indicator of freshness: when you gently bend a Turkish bay leaf, it should show slight flexibility and release its natural aroma upon breaking.
