Product Review

Bay leaves are generally sold as dried whole leaves and occasionally ground. Frontier Co-op sells whole leaves that are Premium Hand Select Grade. This designation means that after the leaves go through a mechanical sorting and sizing process, two rounds of hand selection ensure that these leaves are the best of the best. Only about 1% of all bay leaves meet the criteria for this grade. Enjoy its sweet, balsamic scent and bitter/spicy bite in gravies and grain dishes, with beans and meats, and in cooking blends like bouquet garni. Bay leaf can also be a wonderful additionin stews, soups and sauces
