Laurier Select - Whole Laurel - Espig - 20x20g

Bay leaf is one of the most deeply rooted aromatic herbs in European culinary tradition. The Espig selection features whole leaves harvested at maturity, preserved in their original form to maintain the essential oils responsible for their woody, slightly camphorated profile, which fully develops with heat.

In professional kitchens, the whole leaf is essential in brown and white stocks, long-cooked broths, and marinades for braised meats or escabeche-style fish. It structures court-bouillon for shellfish and integrates naturally into casserole or tagine cooking. Its whole format allows for easy removal at the end of cooking, leaving no residue in the preparation.

To complete your range of aromatic herbs, Espig Whole Thyme pairs with bay leaf as the classic base for bouquet garni, while Espig Whole Tarragon expands your aromatic compositions for French-style preparations.
