Laurel, also known as bay leaf, is an herb that has played a prominent role in cuisines worldwide for centuries. With its distinctive aroma and subtle flavor, bay leaf is an indispensable ingredient in countless dishes. CTCS offers high-quality bay leaves sourced from carefully selected regions, where the best conditions are created for the production of this aromatic herb.

Laurel production begins with the careful manual harvesting of the leaves. After harvesting, the leaves are sorted, dried and packaged, with careful checks for quality and consistency. CTCS works closely with suppliers in Turkey, Greece and Albania to ensure that only the best bay leaves are selected and distributed.

Bay leaves are traditionally used in soups, stews, sauces and marinades. They are often added to dishes that require a long time to cook, allowing the flavor to infuse slowly. Laurel gives off a subtle, complex flavor that blends perfectly with other herbs and spices, and it is an indispensable ingredient in classics such as boeuf bourguignon and various Mediterranean dishes.

At CTCS, we work with producers who are committed to a quality product. Our black pepper is regularly tested to ensure it meets the highest international standards, including residue levels and microbiological safety.
