Bay laurel has been used for centuries as a medicinal and aromatic plant. The true laurel is an evergreen tree or shrub that can grow up to 10 metres high and belongs to the laurel family. Originally from the Near East, it quickly spread throughout the Mediterranean region in ancient times. While its fruits, the laurels, are processed into oils, the leaves are used as a spice.

Cooking tip: Try bay potatoes! Carefully score the raw potatoes and push a quarter of a bay leaf into the gap, place in a roasting tin, pour stock over and bake in the oven at 200 degrees C for 45 minutes, basting the potatoes repeatedly with stock.

Store in a dry place
