Morton & Bassett Bay Leaves, 0.14-Ounce jar

This is great to add to homemade bread in bread machine!

These are California bay leave. Critic have said they’re not Turkish or true bay leaves. It’s a matter of taste as to which you prefer. Personally I much prefer the California bay leaf flavor over the Turkish or Mediterranean bay leaf.When I bought these I was specifically seeking California bay. That’s exactly what I got and wanted. Wonderful floral / eucalyptus flavor.

Good fresh peppercorns in just the right sized container. Lovely, glass!

Asian bay trees are NOT the same as the California Bay tree [bushes in my area] in terms of flavor. Seventy years ago, I grew up with wild CA bay tree (bushes) growing near my house. The flavor of the CA bay leaf has NO parallel to or competition with the rich, nutty aromatic overtones in the CA Bay Leaf. Bay leaves from India are their own flavor. Hence, IF one is cooking an Asian recipe and desires the same flavor as the local India restaurant, then do NOT use the CA bay leaf. For American cuisine and flavors of childhood at grandma's, you must use CA bay leaves. Just as some people claim Coke and Pepsi taste exactly the same, well, neither do the two different bay leaves!

Awesome

Mortan & Basset spices are just wonderful, especially the Bay Leaves.This would be a 5-Star if organic - and they do have organic bay leaves.

Arrived in excellent condition. Not broken up in pieces. Very fresh and effective.

Bay leaves were very strong! This is exactly what I wanted! So satisfied and happy!
