How to use Morton & Bassett California Bay Leaves

Hint: Bay leaves infuse best when simmered with the dish early in the cooking process and removed before serving. For long-simmered recipes, add a couple of leaves at the start and taste as you go. For lighter sauces, add a leaf or two during simmering to layer aroma.

• Soups and stews: add whole leaves at the start to release aroma during simmering.
• Roasts and braises: drop in early to infuse meat with aromatic notes, then discard.
• Sauces and tomato dishes: allow a leaf to soften in the sauce for depth, then remove.
• Mediterranean dishes and legumes: pairs well with tomatoes, olives, and beans for a warm finish.

Storage and quality

Keep the jar in a cool, dry place away from direct light to preserve aroma and potency. Re-seal tightly after use to maintain freshness and prevent aroma loss over time.

Originating from California, these bay leaves offer a bright, clean profile that complements a wide range of flavors and cooking styles, making them a dependable staple for everyday cooking.
