Our ground Laurel Bay Leaf is a pure expression of the savory, herbal flavor of the bay leaf. Sourced from the rocky Mediterranean coastline of Turkey, dried and ground into a powder, it's a versatile alternative to whole bay leaves.
Use sparingly in soups, stews and as a rub for roasted meats and veggies.

United StatesMuch more than expected
I haven’t cooked with the bay leaves yet, but they smell wonderful. I was surprised at how many bay leaves I got for the price. It was a lot!! Now I need to with find some recipes that use Lots of bay leaves or make a wreath for the kitchen. All I usually use them for is spaghetti sauce. Got any good ideas?
My food tastes better!
I’m really in love with all the herbs and spices I bought. This is such a better way to use bay leaves than the full leaf. Just loving nth depth of flavor and precision I can achieve with this powdered version. Highly recommend.
United StatesLaurel Bay Leaf
Used it in a chili recipe— added a nice subtle flavor, without having to remove a bay leaf.
United StatesDevoted customer!
In my first order, I picked the most common spices I use for home cooking. I was so excited to open the box and spice jars to see if I could really tell a difference. Every one of the jars amazed my senses and enticed me to start thinking about what to cook next. Each dish, as a home cook, has elevated flavor and filled the kitchen with the best aromatics. I never knew what I was missing. So happy to have found Burlap and Barrel and support spice farmers around the world.
United StatesWow!
Wow, I was skeptical about this, but I cook a lot of beans and soups and go through a lot of bay leaves. When I opened the jar I was blown away by the fragrance, and couldn’t wait to use it. I must say it is absolutely as stated on B&B’s site, and a little goes a long way.
United StatesPerfect for beans and soups
Good substitute for whole leaves, especially when cooking beans. Highly recommend.
United StatesRich smell and great leaf alternative
So happy to have bought this - there are some days that a bay powder is the right dash instead of a full leaf.
United Statesumami flavor in a jar
I was a bit hesitant at first to use this spice however, I'm sold now! I use the recommended amount to substitute for a bay leaf (printed on the jar). It adds a nice depth of flavor. My husband commented the first time I used it - he loved it!
