Turkish bay leaves — Turkey produces the majority of the world's exported bay leaves, for food manufacturers, spice distributors, and food service operators globally
Turkey is the world's dominant supplier of bay leaves (Laurus nobilis) for international trade, with production concentrated in the Aegean coastal province of İzmir where the laurel tree grows prolifically. Turkish bay leaves are harvested from cultivated and wild trees, shade-dried to preserve colour and essential oil content, and available in whole leaf, crumbled, and ground formats.
Bay leaves are a staple culinary herb used in soups, stews, sauces, and marinades across European and global cuisine. Food manufacturers and industrial spice processors are the primary B2B buyers, followed by food service distributors and wholesale spice suppliers. Turkey's dominance in this category means reliable annual supply at competitive pricing. Available in retail packs, food service bulk formats, and wholesale bags.
