Bay leaves are harvested from the bay laurel tree (Laurus nobilis). The leaves are typically plucked from the tree by hand. The harvesting process usually takes place throughout the year, as the leaves maintain their flavour regardless of the season.

Fresh bay leaves are often preferred for immediate use while drying preserves them for extended storage and seasoning purposes. Find Osman's Taj
