Bay Leaf Powder
Bay Leaf Powder (Laurus nobilis) is one of the most iconic aromatic herbs of Mediterranean cuisine. With its pleasant fragrance, slight bitterness, and rich aromatic profile, it adds depth and character to a wide variety of dishes.
Harvested from natural environments and shade-dried under the assurance of Tuna Spice quality, our bay leaves are ground under sterile conditions to produce a fine, aromatic powder. Rich in both essential oils and flavor, Tuna Spice Bay Leaf Powder is a natural aroma source widely used across the food industry and beyond.
