Aromatic herbs and leaves
Bay leaf bunch ±30g
540072
Bay leaves are a staple herb in traditional French cuisine. Sold in bunches by Le Delas, they release powerful, woody, warm and slightly camphor-like aromas after prolonged steeping. They are an essential dried ingredient in any proper stock or bouquet garni.
Professional uses, preparation and storage:
► Cooking bases: Essential for making stocks, brown and white stocks, meat stews (daube, civet) and classic tomato sauces.
► Preparation: The leaves are used whole so they can be easily removed before serving. To release more essential oils, you can lightly crumple the leaf before adding it to the hot liquid.
► Storage: Keeps very well in the fridge. For a longer shelf life, the bunch can be hung upside down to dry in a dry, well-ventilated place.
