Our sweet, warm, rich Caribbean Bay Leaves are hand-picked at origin at Belmont Estate on the island of Grenada. Completely different from the better known bay laurel leaves, this versatile ingredient adds depth and complexity to stews, curries and baked goods.

Substitute for standard bay leaves cinnamon or nutmeg in any recipe. It's also very convenient for making marinades, rubs and blends, including classic jerk seasoning!

Judges Comments:

These dusky green leaves pack real flavour. When sucked, you get a wonderfully rounded, intensely green, herbaceous flavour and smell. We then tasted them infused in warm milk adjusted to room temperature - and the flavours were absolutely beguiling. The leaves give a gently spiced fragrance and flavour that are 3D in the nose and mouth. The flavour journey you go on when you taste the infused bay leaves is really special.

This is beautifully prepared bay with a perfumed aroma. It is very strong in flavour, floral and, again, perfumed. It is lovely and would add character to many a dish.

We adore the delicate leaf, and the aroma that is released when rubbing the leaf between the palms, the scents of bay and almost-clove are stunning. Tasting the leaf in the warm milk, there are clean flavours of bay, clove and delicate spiced medicinal notes too.
