Buying Tips

High-quality bay leaves are aromatic and have a bright green color. The more faded the green color, the more bitter the leaves will taste.

Varieties

There are two main varieties of bay leaves--Turkish and Californian. Turkish bay leaves, which have 1- to 2-inch-long (2.5-5cm) oval leaves, have a subtler flavor than the Californian variety, which feature narrow, 2- to 3-inch-long (5-7.6cm) leaves.
