What are Bay Leaves?

Bay leaves come from the laurel tree (Laurus nobilis), an aromatic evergreen tree native to the Mediterranean region. These smooth, oblong leaves have been used for culinary and symbolic purposes since ancient times, representing honor and glory in Greek and Roman cultures.

Their unique fragrance enhances the overall depth and character of slow-cooked dishes. At Godzilla Herbs, our Bay Leaves are carefully harvested, gently dried to preserve their aromatic oils, and packaged with care, bringing you the pure essence and subtle richness of this essential culinary herb.
