Laurel Leaves 40g

Details

This aromatic herb symbolized victory, fame, and respect in the antiquity. Poets and victorious generals were crowned with laurels. It is from this custom that the expression “not to rest on one’s laurels” came to be.

Today, the bay leaf is a staple in the kitchen. It lends itself well to anything that simmers in a large pot, stews, and sauces of all kinds. It pleasantly enhances soups made with legumes or tomatoes. It is also an essential ingredient in lentil dishes. Bay leaves can be used as an infusion for a soothing herbal tea that promotes digestion.

SPECIAL TIP: Add a few leaves to cooking water for extra flavourful pasta or rice. Add a bay leaf or two to flavour your favourite olive oil. Delicious when drizzled over pasta or a pizza before serving.

Hand-picked in the heart of the Greek countryside.

Can be stored for several months in a dry place away from light.
