laurel in a bag 5g

Noble laurel (bay leaf) is a plant typical of the Dalmatian landscape. Whole, dried leaves rich in tannins and essential oils are used as a spice for their strong aroma and aromatic-bitter taste. In home cuisine, bay leaves are traditionally used for long-simmering stews. They also go well with all types of meat: venison, beef, chicken, fish, lamb… Bay leaves are excellent for fish and meat marinades, soups, and various sauces and are an indispensable spice for pickling vegetables. They should be dosed carefully – as a rule, one leaf is enough – and added early in the cooking process so that its taste thoroughly permeates the dish.
