Daphnis and Chloe Selected Bay Leaves
The aromatic oils in fresh bay leaves can be transformative in your cooking. Unfortunately, much of what’s found on supermarket shelves is anything but fresh, often musty and weakly scented. Harvested by hand on an organic farm near the Ionian Sea, dried naturally and sorted one by one, Daphnis and Chloe’s Bay Leaves are of the highest quality. A staple used to infuse cooking liquids, bay leaves add deep flavor and slight bitterness, that balances richness in soups, stews and braises. Crisp, peppery and reminiscent of eucalyptus, this aromatic Greek variety grows on bay trees native to the sunny southern Mediterranean. Each Daphnis and Chloe leaf is so potent that simply rubbing one between your fingers will leave a strong scent, unlike many supermarket versions.

HOW TO USE
Use in any recipe that calls for bay leaves. But because of their potent, well-preserved flavor, you may need less than when using dried herbs from the grocery store. Add to taste.
Daphnis & Chloe
Some of the finest Mediterranean herbs can be found in Greece, growing in wild undisturbed microclimates and, over the years, developing flavor profiles and aromas unique to that country. They are a well-kept secret by the locals, and most of the herbs have been inaccessible to cooks outside Greece — until now. Daphnis and Chloe, an Athens-based culinary herb company, partners with local foragers and farmers to harvest limited-production herbs and distribute them internationally, and we at Milk Street are bringing them to you.
