Frequently Asked Questions
Indonesian Bay Leaf, or Daun Salam, comes from the Syzygium polyanthum tree. It has a unique, slightly astringent and herbaceous aroma, different from the more common European bay laurel leaf.
While both are used to add aromatic depth, Daun Salam has a more subtle, cinnamon-like undertone and is a key ingredient in Indonesian and Malay cuisine. The European bay leaf (Laurus nobilis) has a more floral, herbal scent.
Our typical MOQ for dried bay leaves is 5-10 metric tons, which can fill a 20ft container. Please contact us to discuss your specific needs.
