Angustifolia (Willow-Leaved Bay) Laurus Nobilis – Bay Trees
Bay is a naturally beautiful tree with dense, glossy foliage that stays vibrant throughout the year. In spring, it produces delicate clusters of pale yellow flowers — a subtle seasonal highlight that adds charm without demanding attention.
Culinary Purposes
Bay leaves are prized in kitchens around the world. Their rich, warm aroma enhances soups, stews, casseroles and slow‑cooked dishes. They’re also the essential ingredient in a classic bouquet garni. A single plant provides a lifetime supply of fragrant leaves. Check out our culinary tips for Bay leaves:
- Use fresh leaves for a stronger, more pungent flavour
- Use dried for a softer, subtler note
- Leaves can be harvested all year round
- Remove before serving, as they stay firm during cooking
