Production & Sourcing
Harvesting: Bay leaves (from the bay laurel tree) are carefully harvested when they are mature and have developed their full flavor. The leaves are usually plucked by hand to ensure their quality.
Drying: After harvesting, the bay leaves are dried to remove their moisture content. This helps preserve the flavor and aroma of the bay leaves.
Grinding: Once the bay leaves are completely dried, they are ground into a fine powder. The grinding process breaks down the dried leaves into smaller particles, creating ground bay leaf.
And you have your Ground Bay Leaf!
